Anonymous Coward User ID: 10194651 Switzerland 02/20/2012 11:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Roman Catholicism "A false Church with significant truths" The Fundamental Difference between Protestants and Roman Catholics is this: Rome does not see salvation from start to finish as the work of the triune God alone. Thus, justification before God (salvation) is not through faith alone by God's grace alone, but, as Rome teaches, salvation comes by faith + the meritorious works that a man must do (including unquestionable devotion to Rome and *religious* worship to Mary). There can be no doubt . . . Mary was made mediatress of our salvation. . . . St. Bonaventure says that Mary is called “the gate of heaven because no one can enter that kingdom without passing through her . . . . Go to Mary, for she will intercede for thee with the Son. . . .” (St. Alphonsus Ligouri, The Glories of Mary, 160, 201--see below article on the Catholicism and the worship of Mary). Rome denies that the work of Jesus Christ completely sufficient for salvation. That faith plus meritorious works must be employed for salvation (as Rome teaches) is, according to the Apostle Paul, Christological heresy (cf. Gal. 1:6-8)--it rejects the work of Christ and hence rejects the Person of the Son, Jesus Christ. rest at link [link to christiandefense.org] |
