Of Declarations, Resolutions, and Theses
Now that R. C. Sproul, the elder statesman of Reformed theology in the U.S., has also come out against the Manhattan Declaration, a number of folks are offering explanations or observations about their role with or the import of the Declaration. Since both R.C. and Mike Horton have emphasized the close connection the current Declaration has with previous announcements of Evangelicals and Catholics Together, the Resolutions for Roman Catholic and Evangelical Dialogue that was published in the July/August 1994 issue of Modern Reformation have appeared as supporting documentation on several blogs and websites. We also wanted to draw attention to the Ten Theses for Roman Catholic-Evangelical Dialogue that we published in the March/April 1994 issue. Between these two statements, we believe a cordial and clearly defined course of conversation can develop between Protestants and Roman Catholics who, while aware of our important differences, are also willing to develop closer working relationships on matters of social justice and/or pursue reconciliation of the divide the church suffered when Rome anathematized the Gospel.

Sometimes argumentation and confrontation has to be used in the defense of the truth as it is in Christ, Jesus.

As Baptist and never having been protestant or associated with the Catholic church and never will. There is no way a Bible believing Christian that is well versed in the scriptures will accept catholism. It is estimated that the catholic church has killed over 50 million Christians since ~400 AD. Has anyone ever consider catholism as Christianity? I think not.
