Christians and Catholics

[percival]

You know what I hate about this phrase? I find it offends the Catholic in me. Mortally. I know we've been over this before, but for crying out loud, if you talk in public, please be aware that the Roman Catholic Church considers itself to be built on the foundation of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Just like the Orthodox and the thousands of Protestant, Evangelical, and non-denominational churches out there.

We may not share the same theology, but we share the same roots.

Thank you.

(I wouldn't necessarily object to Christians and Quakers, though, because I know that some Quakers don't call themselves Christians, even though Quaker faith is also deeply rooted in Jesus Christ. What it boils down to is to respect the way in which other denominations see themselves.)

Actually, I guess that should be un-Christlike. "Christian" covers a whole matter of sins.

Fortunately, Christ covers all the sins, if we believe the core teaching of our faiths. Thank goodness, coz us humans sure do need the coverage. ^_^
