Gentle-people,
You must find a way to explain your dogmas to these ignorant protestants.
Why doesn't His Holiness Pope Benedict take 1 hour of his time a week and explain your doctrines. Its VITAL.
He should do it in English and it should be on national TV.
They refuse to accept that we DO NOT worship saints. Asking the intercession of saints is not worshipping them.
Someone has to explain to them all these things...
I'm aware that there are priests reading this thread, and I would appreciate it if you could , within the boundaries of your power and responsibility, find a way to pass this request to your senior Bishops.
H.H Pope Benedict really needs to set aside a Q&A session each week to answer these people! I think that your question was answered by Our Savior in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, the beggar. Luke 16:19-31 "Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.'
"And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
"But he said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.' "

The Norwegians have not yet apologized for lutefisk.
Jim Hey, I happen to like lutefisk/creamed whitefish. We always had it for Christmas Eve dinner. Bob

"But he said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.' " I think the parable you quoted was for unbelievers or to Christians who are Christian but ignore God's commandments. For example, I'd have applied this to protestants who think fornication (sex before marriage) is oK, or if abortion is OK. But we are talking about devout Christians who literally "have it in" for the Catholic AND Orthodox Churches.
