Protestants Catholics Whats the Difference?
Christians have often disputed as to whether what
leads the Christian home is good actions, or
Faith in Christ. . . There are two parodies of
the truth which different Christians have, in the
past, been accused by other Christians of
believing. . . One set were accused of saying,
Good actions are all that matters. The best
good action is charity. The best kind of charity
is giving money. The best thing to give money to
is the Church. So hand us over 10,000 and we
will see you through.. . . The other set were
accused of saying, Faith is all that matters.
Consequently, if you have faith, it doesnt
matter what you do. Sin away, my lad, and have a
good time and Christ will see that it makes no
difference in the end. C. S. Lewis, Mere
Christianity (1952)
