Which side are you on? Reformation teachings that identify the Pope as the Beast of Revelation and / or Roman Catholicism as Mystery Babylon still manage to find their way into contemporary eschatology as well. Clearly, anyone with this view is not going to warm up to Rome any time soon. Roman Catholics that view legitimate Protestant denominations as little more than cults are in the same boat (although after a perusal of today's "Christian Bookstores" or most "Christian TV" programming it is hard to blame them).
Many Protestants think Roman Catholics teach a works-gospel that cannot save, while Roman Catholics think Protestants teach easy-believism that requires nothing more than an emotional outburst brought on by manipulative preaching. Protestants blame Catholics for worshipping Mary and Catholics think Protestants are apparently too dull to understand the distinctions Rome has made in this regard.
Free speech is the order of the day.

wow. a bit too heavy for me. nonetheless my simple belief is that they will be no end to religious conflicts, be it amonst the diffrent faiths or teven within the same religion. the holier than thou attitude prevailing will see to that.

Not that heavy. Just something that we should learn about each other religions. Only then can we understand each other beliefs so that we can tolerate more towards another. Ignorance will make one afraid of the unknown. So lets join and be merry. I'm looking at my body, i'm no 'holy' man.

I dont know so much but you are free to say what you feel. I wish to know what is the difference between Catholics and Protestanst. What else do the Protestants protest about? How do you protest?
