The maternal side if my family are all Catholic, the paternal side are Protestant..We all get along just fine.. I am as much at home in a Catholic service as I am in a protestant service..having been raised in both.
We all have Christ as the center of our worship and that puts us on the same team. There may be a difference in the colors of the uniforms and rules of the game, but our eyes are on the same goal
There is no reason that Catholics and Protestants can't get along although unfortunately they often do not.
Living in tolerance would help the situation; if Protestants wouldn't stick Chick tracts in my door, on my car, hand to to my kids at school, or tell me I am going to hell for being Catholic, it would make the entire getting along thing much easier.
I have Protestant relatives and friends who are tolerant but a lot of folks are not.
It doesn't help that I live in an area where Catholics are a minority, especially because I grew up where we were many.
Catholics don't go out and harangue Protestants to come to the Catholic Church so Protestants, unless someone asks, let us alone, please.
No we can't if were are talking about doctrinally getting along ...."Sola fida", justification.
Agree. WHen it comes down to justification and salvation, they are non negoitables...and the Two Religions differ tremendously with one putting emphasis on The Word of God and the other putting emphasis on Church Tradition .
However, if we are both at the same anti-abortion (peaceful) demonstration, then I think we can team up to hopefully make a difference. I also believe we can break bread together and sing Kum By Ya around the bonifire .

And . . BOTH of which are irrelevant . . . because the Word of God is NOT Sola Scriptura . . . it is Solus Christus.
Yes we haft to get along, Jesus said`` the accuser of the breathern is caste down`` ...... there are days coming soon when Protestant, Catholic churches WILL BE ABSORBED INTO ONE church of Jesus Christ....... Catholic prophecy says that The next pope will be called Pope Peter and he will be a Roman pope, he will be the last Pope of the Vatican, as the result Jesus needs the Vatican for his salvations in the earth...... That means the Protestant churches will also come to an end and be absorbed into one church with our Catholic brothers under the authority and lead of Jesus........ The name of present Pope Benedict came from the same prophet Malachy in the years 1095 A.D.-1148 A.D. This Pope today is over 90 years old, the next Pope is the Last
