to: CharleyMane from: truedog Chuck, I have been hearing about some dissatisfaction with Rome from some personal friends who are Catholic but no detail was forthcoming. I don't particularly think that Luther and Calvin made the correct moves to engender better Christians. I believe that they wanted new denominations so they could be the head honcho and call all the shots. The protestant I was referring to are those going to church today. More and more of them are realizing that any organized denomination has established rules based on what some person,or committee, deem are the correct,and only, way to worship God,and are peacefully rebelling from such unnecessary control. Groups like the Puritans were the radical Christian right of that period and were just as zealous as the nut cases running around today. It is really easy for one to worship God on an individual basis and realize as complete a fulfillment as doing it inside some edifice of brick,steel and mortar called a church. I still maintain that every person who truly believes in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior comprises one element of the church of Jesus...TD
