Can Anabaptism be Catholic and vice versa?

The Catholic Church would disavow your behavior.

despite disagreeing with Max, he had never used profanity.

You are not being a good witness.

To be clear, he isn’t getting banned for Catholic doctrine or peddling it… but I think he’s intentionally burning bridges.

He seemed to have an interest in history. Now he is history.

i haven’t been keeping up.
i guess you’re saying Falco has been banned?
i just saw his signature line.

i’m very sad. in his “body of work” he had some great topics and posts.

Please family,

Forgive me all things I said about Sodom and Gomorrah. I hope any kind of bullying, or harrassment stops immediately. We don't want violence of any kind.

Please pray for me, family. I am so sorry.

i’m not sure what’s going on.

Falco, i’m praying for you and i’m sure i’m not alone.
i wish Hats Off were here.

Guess he got pushed over the edge. This forum is not for the faint hearted and good practice for people to practice loving your enemies and turning the other cheek.
The old man can rear its head but we need to be like Jesus sometimes and put up with insults. And at times not say a word as Jesus who opened not His mouth at times. I took appreciated his posts in general.
Lord have mercy on us all

Anyone ever hear of Professor Mike Driedger in Ontario?.? He seems to want to Munsterfy all of anabaptism.

He seems to present Munster as the norm, and everything else as an outlier.

here is the website-expired certificate, Gave me trouble, but sure won't stop Josh or Soloist

Some interesting stuff here. He seems to have a thing about David Joris, but I may be misreading him. I have his writings on my shelf, I will try to open it.

’tis a shame - looked like some kind interesting theories to talk about… even if I don’t agree with them.

It's common in Reformed circles for any discussion about Anabaptists to immediately turn to acting as if Munsterites and Batenburgers defined the Anabaptist movement, which they did not. I think it's a deflection tactic because talking about the rest of the history of Anabaptism is, well, pretty uncomfortable for people who aren't Anabaptists.

I think that's right. In my experience, Reformed folk are often quick to lump us all in with the worst of the "Radical Reformers" wing of the Reformation and then to also accuse of Legalism and "Works-based Salvation". Not the most gracious folk around.

Again, I would commend Carlos Eire's 4 "Radical Reformers" typologies that although broadly related are clearly distinct. The Swiss Brethren and the Dutch Mennonites are, for Eire, quite different from the folk that ran Muenster. I don't have the book in front of me but if I get a chance I will try to transcribe the table (with specific examples) of the 4 typologies.

As for Mr. Dreidger, he seems like a hack academic with an axe to grind.
