Thank you for your admission. Then it doesn't matter what you believe. As long as you are sincere in your schismatic, heretic, or pagan religion, you don't need the Catholic Church.
Do you believe that seeking Truth is a work of the Holy Spirit or not, sir?
We cannot seek truth, sincerely, unless the Holy Spirit moves us. And if someone is seeking Truth because the Holy Spirit moves them, shall they not find all they seek?
Thank you for your admission again. The fact that you would even consider doing "a service with Buddhists" shows your complete religious indifference; that you would do a joint religious ceremony with a pagan religion.
What should I do? Tell them to go to Hell?
Of course, you play organ for your Protestant church every week, so obviously, it matters very little to you.
Sir, if it didn't matter to me, I would be Protestant. Boy they have great hymns though--traditional Protestantism that is. I am not talking about contemporary worship. If there is one thing traditional reformed Protestants do well it is hymnody.
You admit that Catholicism is totally unnecessary but is merely "fullness of truth."
I didn't say it is unnecessary. Without the Church there is no salvation.
This is the heretical ecclesiology of Vatican II, anyone can be saved through any religion, and belief in Christ as the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity is completely unnecessary.
This is not my ecclesiology, nor that of Vatican II. That is your rad trad caricature.
Yeah, that's religious indifferentism.
Sure is--for the people who hold to it.
Yeah, it's only a "quote", only a papal encyclical, just magisterium. It has no relevance to you or your made-up religion of opinions. Catholic teaching means absolutely nothing to you. They are only a bunch of old irrelevant writings of some people that existed before Vatican II.
Writings, sir, that have to be situated in their historical context. Writings sir, that were written to address specific questions about specific items.
Your problem is that you take specific statements made by popes, to address specific questions and controversies--and then you force them to answer modern questions they weren't intended to address.
Why would you even bother to "evangelize" non-Catholics when your fake Pachamama worshiping apostate "pope" says "proselytism" is evil?
Sir, "proselytism" is a form of Bible thumping. I have seen this in videos. A Protestant minister goes to Mass and then interrupts the Mass and yells at everyone, telling them they are going to Hell. A Protestant or group of Protestants who stand outside Catholic churches and yell at worshippers. That happened at a Church I went to Mass at once. I went over to the person to talk to him and distract him. Alpha and Omega ministries goes to Salt Lake City to proselytize Mormons who are there to worship. THAT, sir, is what the pope has in mind when he condemns "proselytism."
"Do unto others." Protestants would not want us at their churches doing that. James White would not want Mormons at his Church doing that. There is a difference between evangelization out of love, and just wanting to be right. Bible Thumpers are not about evangelization. At best they just like to show off and draw attention to themselves, showing how much they think they know. At worst, they do so out of hate.
He certainly wouldn't try to convert the Buddhists or anyone else to his heretic Novus Ordo religion.
Sir, there is a time and a place for everything.
