I am a former protestant Handel Send a noteboard - 30/10/2009 12:12:57 AM
But reading Scripture convinced me of the truth of the Catholic faith.

And this isn't a protestant myth. Until Constantine there was very little formal organization of the church. This formal organization allowed the church to push out viewpoints they consider "heretical" and "deviant."

There has never been consensus and uniformity in the catholic church. The various councils through the old testament, acts, and following the new testament are proof of that. If there had been consensus you wouldn't need the various councils.

An outsider, Roman Emperor Constantine I, orders the various bishops into one location, to form the first Ecumenical Council, the council of Nicaea. He did this to end controversy, for he wouldn't allow different viewpoints to divide his empire.


Again, history does not bear this out. Sorry, but you will never convince me that modern evangelicalism bears any resemblance to what the Church in its infancy believed, taught and lived.
