In the sense that Augustine, Anelm and even Aquinas were 100% Catholic (to just start with the 'A's). My probllem is the course the church of Rome has taken in more recent centuries. I do not "share all the teachings of Vatican II, Vatican I or even Trent" and neither did the aforementioned 'A's and many 'B's 'C's etc. I have no problem with a Petrine primacy, so long as its position is not used (perhaps abused) to add doctinal acretions that millions of good (Catholic adn Orthodox)Christians can not in good concience assent to. I long for the day when we can all share the Body and Blood of Christ, at the same table without 'disciplinary' and doctinal additions keeping us apart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807826652341078989.post-10812413785710597992010-06-23T16:25:16.488+01:002010-06-23T16:25:16.488+01:00As an orthodox cradle Catholic myself I can tell y...As an orthodox cradle Catholic myself I can tell you that full submission to the Magisterium is never easy, but that does not make it less important. There will always be some issue for every individual that is difficult to accept. It is our heritage from our first parents to chaff against the authority of God.<br />Prayer is indeed the answer. We must pray for them and they must pray for themselves. Prayer for a humble heart is always the hardest of prayers to pray with true conviction.TerryChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534442176545473283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807826652341078989.post-16421107827335798332010-06-23T13:00:33.207+01:002010-06-23T13:00:33.207+01:00I for one am VERY excited and have no internal str...I for one am VERY excited and have no internal struggles at all. Head says yes...but the struggle is how to move my people. ALL of them. A shepherd does not abandon the sheep and that is why I implore your prayers that we secure our building.
