    Would you work in a ministry that helped to physically save babies but was lead by Catholics?

    Most Certainly, If you were drowning and a Catholic threw you a life preserver, would you throw it back. No brainer.

    When I lived in SD it was the Protestant pastors who were like marshmallows when it came to take a stance. That was only just a few years ago. I have experienced the same thing among pastors when it came time to take a stance against profanity, etc in books in the local school. It seems that so many are like an empty bag--they just make a lot of noise.

    Is the purpose proselytizing, or saving lives?

    No brainer to me.

    I'm a follower of Christ before I'm a Southern Baptist. With that said, if called to work with Catholics, I have no problem with that.

    Yes.....you are fighting the forces of evil (wow, sound like Batman LOL) & anything you can do to save a life must be done....the enemy of my enemy is my friend (in war) & thats spiritual warfare. Also, by your example these theologically depraved Catholics might truly be led to the Lord. Think of it as double duty.

    I'd still take it, and if it saved my life, I'd thank the priest for caring, too. :)

    Absolutely, and I would challenge the Baptists to get off their butts and get involved. Remember the good Samaritan story? Very similar.

    To my understand, we are 'allowed" to work with and be involved in social agenda concerns with others, such as conservative jews, Catholics etc, but NOT in areas when it compromised the doctrines of gopd and the Bible, such as who Jesus is, real Gospel message etc!

    I can work with catholics, but would NOT allow a priest to teach from the pulpet! As that would give implied approval for RC theology!
