Welcome, @James~

Thank you

@Kike of Kaifeng You sound like the dreaded American convertodox

@Wzl I'm Anglican

But I think this is just a problem that Romanists will want to change, and I wonder what can be done

"romanists"

what does that even mean?

Roman catholics I assume

@Wzl he's neither lol, anglican from china

@Deleted User He is even more worse then. @Kike of Kaifeng When are you finally swimming the Tiber or are you that 'special autistic kind' of Chinese from Hongkong?

If God did anything to america, he'd curse it, not bless it.

America = the great satan

Neo Sodom

Hald the world is Neo Sodom, though

the whore of babylon

@Deleted User @Wzl I live in America

It is the Whore of Babylon, or at least a whore of Babylon

@de ton America richly deserves to be destroyed several times over for its acquiescence to and embrace of globohomo

Its cities are worse than Sodom and Gomorrah

But yes, @Wzl, I do have a connexion to Hong Kong, namely that my father was born there and baptized in an Anglican church when he read the Bible to get ready for a debate and was convinced by the Holy Spirit of his sinfulness before God and his need for a spotless Saviour of infinite merits

I don't know what autistic Hongkongers you've seen, and autistic Calvinists, of whom there are many; but I'm decidedly not autistic, even figuratively

Although I have done some rather mechanical work such as copyediting

As for when, or rather if, I'll swim the Tiber

I refer you to the able defences of the Protestant doctrine of justification by John Davenant, Lord Bishop of Sarum, and of the legitimacy of the Reformed Church of England by Richard Field

Reading Davenant, you will not easily think Bellarmine was the clear victor in their scholastic debate on justification, and indeed Bellarmine himself respected Davenant enough that, it is sometimes reported, he kept a portrait of Davenant in his study; and if Bellarmine respected Davenant, I do not suppose many moderns have the quali to judge Davenant an autistic idiot

As for the doctrine of the eucharist, I think perhaps the best book is Daniel Waterland's *Review of the Doctrine of the Eucharist*

If all you ever engage with are meme versions of Reformed Protestantism (which far too many Protestants themselves embrace because they know no better), you have not reckoned with the real thing and more than stupid Protestants have reckoned with Rome when they attack straw men of Romanism

I'm fairly sure @Mogy is willing to vouch for my not being a complete idiot, though I am often enough an obstinate fool

And may the Lord by his Holy Spirit speaking in the holy Scriptures bring us all to the fulness of the truth +

@Kike of Kaifeng really? I thought you were just really good at speaking English

@Deleted User yeah, I was born in Alabama

Oh based

I was in Alabama for like 3 hours last spring

Seemed nice enough
