As this Catholic blogger (Mark Shea, apparently) points out, "Reformed Catholicism," is not Catholic, but for the record, it's also not Reformed - it's simply out there. It seems highly sympathetic to the Federal Vision and the CREC, which are, as at least one writer pointed out, not Reformed at all.
Also, this means that maybe I should update my stepping stone illustration to:
TR -> FV -> RfC -> RmC
However, unlike the Catholic commenter above, I do not lump Kepha in as a "Reformed Catholic," I think he's become a traditionalist or s/v Catholic. Nevertheless, I welcome his comments on his own position, if he likes, since his opinions may have changed since we last communicated, and I may be mistaken.

Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
it's simply out there.
ReplyDeleteThat seems like a good summary.
WoW TF
ReplyDeletethat was powerful!
This verse has been working its way to my heart from my head:
Gal 5:5 For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.
I guess the thought goes like this: well, when you have a "reputation" and "have" to be right, wrong is not an option.
It seems DW has missed it when letting "His Faith" enlighten him on "His Hope" as Paul obviously understood what point the Holy Ghost was making and moved upon his head and heart to have written here at Gal. 5:5.
thanks for the insights TF!
You going blind? :)
Michael,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments. Thanks also for the photo of Hosea and company. With your permission, I'll try to find an upcoming post in which to use it.
You'll see I already put Nebo to work in this post:
Curse not the rich.

you are welcome.
ReplyDeleteyes, use it. but if you make millions, some bird seed might be offered on my behalf, or rather Hosea's?
:)
by the way, where do believe all this is going to end up, back to the beginning of the circle, perhaps?
