I will never forget the words of Don Guis. when he told me while eating a meal with him. He said this among many other things. "Stay faithful to the Holy Father and he will save America." Well I'm honoring him by responding to the following post. I was reading it and I couldn't take it any longer. If anybody wants to join in on this discussion feel free to do so. I am the Chief Among Sinners, not to mention, I'm no expert in apologetics or polemics.
Why John MacArthur Is Not "Reformed"

I sure don't follow this whole Reformed/ Evangelical split. Either way, faith seems to be mainly a matter of assenting to the correct ideas, rather than a relationship with the bishops or a way of life. Such a perception is no doubt worsened by the internet (the cartisianet), which reduces everything to discourse.

Regarding faithfulness to the Holy Father, see my post: The Franciscan Difference
I understand your point on the first comment and I agree with it. I would only add that orthodoxy precedes orthopraxis. Right (or incorrect) belief on doctrinal matters affects how one acts. I shall read your link on the second comment.
One question for you - what is your image? It looks like the moon, but it's green. You can see a face in it. What's up with that?
Nice post on your second comment. I always recommend that folks read and follow Deep Furrows. Thank you for your friendship.
The image is something astronomical: the sun or somesuch as seen with one of the color treatments nasa likes. I'm thinking of changing it again perhaps back to the holy family icon.

Exploring the Catholic Church by Marcellino D'Ambrosio
This is a great introductory book on Catholicism. It is orientated towards Evangelicals. This is just the first of many great books that I would recommend. They are written at the popular level. Anybody can read them and gain something out of them. If you desire to have the full list of intro. books to Catholicism just ask me. It's only a dozen total books or so.
Here are a few helpful websites that explain the basics of Catholicism are:
Communion of Saints
Cor ad cor loquitur
Catholic Answers
