So we Catholics come to this Religion section of the forum and we hear all day long that such things as Purgatory and Confession and etc.. are not in the Bible
But then when we give Protestants scriptures that support these peculiarly Catholic practices/teachings
All the sudden, they don't believe in scripture (much) anymore! or they accept their interpretation of those Catholic sounding scriptures, and refuse to even question their own ability to interpret, though most have no degree in theology (Catholic clergy do).
They never seem to have a problem condemning Catholics for their interpretation. Nope... so it's every man for himself (interpreting)
Lovely... No wonder a lot of people stay out of any Church, Catholic or Protestant
