Question: Dear Brother, Thank you for the time you put in to answer all of our questions. I have learned immensely from your answers. I have a question regarding the website that you put forth in your answer to the question on the rock story. In checking out the website, I found that Roman Catholics are not "saved" and have departed from Christianity. They have added books to the bible that are "lies" and only added these books in response to the reformation, and that relying on the sacraments isn't going to help us. I realize this is not true, but I often wonder if the people that are not truly knowledgable in their faith are harmed by using answers from these websites, even if answers to some questions are in line with the Catholic faith (like the rock question). I personally have trouble accepting answers to these kinds of questions when I know they are stating untruths on other areas of the web site (or book, etc.). Is this shortsighted on my part? I often wonder how to reconcile this in my mind and heart. I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem or not, but it troubles me. I try to find Catholic authors, teachers, or saints for my responses to questions from people - is this wrong? Am I limiting myself too much by excluding explanations by Protestants? I'm kind of troubled after being a Catechist for 7 years and hearing the parents quote mainly Protestant explanations of our faith that are not in line with Catholic teaching at all. Any words you can give me as to the correct line of thinking in this area would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Question:

Dear Brother,

Thank you for the time you put in to answer all of our questions. I have learned immensely from your answers.

I have a question regarding the website that you put forth in your answer to the question on the rock story. In checking out the website, I found that Roman Catholics are not "saved" and have departed from Christianity. They have added books to the bible that are "lies" and only added these books in response to the reformation, and that relying on the sacraments isn't going to help us.
