[Augustine23596]

Some fundamentalist Christians do not think of Catholics as true Christians because Catholicism doesn’t adhere to their definition of Christianity. It’s as simple as that. The typical Protestant looks at Catholicism and sees a religion that seems to have added unscriptural practices to orthodox biblical Christianity, much as a Catholic (or a Protestant for that matter) might look at Mormonism. The believing Catholic, however, sees his as the true and complete expression of Christianity, and these ‘unscriptural practices’ (most of which are actually quite biblical) are not something added on, but rather something essential that Protestants lack. Catholics (as well as Eastern Orthodox and many Anglicans) honor Mary as Mother of God and seek her intercession, not as a goddess, but as the person in this world closest to her son Jesus. Also, it’s not common knowledge, but the American brand of Catholicism, especially after Vatican II, is quite watered-down and Protestantized compared to other times and cultures. The TAN book publishing company (www.tanbooks.com), and to a lesser extent Mother Angelica’s EWTN cable network (www.ewtn.com), is a good source of authentic, unadulterated Catholic doctrine.
