<p>Worldview is essentially everything. While Billy and I’ve debated the difference, which he implicitly conveys in using Catholic in lieu of Christian, as a self-avowed Reformed, Evangelical, charismatic … I’d beg to say while Billy’s bright and makes fine arguments for his points, your WV and his could hardly be more disparate. btw, while he might argue that “there are no pro-abortion” Catholic U’s, he’s conveniently forgotten the heated issue of NDU inviting a pro-abortion president to speak. Sorta like inviting Quadaffi or the Iranian dude to speak at a military academy. Perhaps “enlightened” but if one really believes, it doesn’t hold water. Another anecdote that I’m hesitant to call a movement, but perhaps Billy might. Several HSs in our area have recently determined to change their names from Christian to Catholic. What’s that about if Catholic is a subset of Christian. Which is the greater identity? Does marketing trump the Cross?</p>
<p>Lastly, is the issue of theology. While there is definite overlap, on many key issues of theology, there is no common ground between Catholics and Reformed Evangelicals. Works, Mary, clerical hierarchy are just a few. While many like to pooh-pooh these things, broad-brushing it all by saying … it’s just Jesus … well many, perhaps most apologists would not. Catholics … and Evangelicals may both be fine people with great values. And for that matter, throw in Mormons and some other cults and sects. But they are literally worlds apart. Btw, this is NOT the same as discussing differences between the Methodists and the Presbyterians and the Baptists and the … This is about major theological issues. </p>
<p>Lastly, IF those differences are not significant, then why do Billy and Catholic schools insist on pushing Catholicism over Christianity. </p>
<p>Now, what’s the point? I’d argue that yours and Billy’s opinions are informative, and informed. But yours is a different view of the Gospel than his. And that should guide you in how far you can afford to buy his contentions … or your Belief. Remember, lots of opinions But only one truth. Billy proclaims his, you yours. Which do you really think is THE TRUTH, realizing for Christians, there is no such thing as A truth. Merely “A(n)” opinion, which can be respected, even tolerated, but not believed.</p>
