Because St Paul was Catholic.
Thomas:
Amen! Not only does St. Paul never say faith alone, but he also says of the three theological virtues, charity is the greatest; not faith.
"And now there remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity." (1 Cor 13:13)
Archie:
What!?! That sounds like a works-based system!
Cathy:
The reason why Protestants invented their doctrine of "faith alone" is because they want a Christianity without the cross.
Archie:
Bingo! It's no accident that they don't like crucifixes. Incidentally, vampires don't like them either...
Oh, that is excellent! Lol! I'll have to use it myself.
Sincerely,
De Maria

Another thing which he said is this:
1 Corinthians 13:2
King James Version (KJV)2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
In other words, faith alone is dead.
Galatians 5:6
King James Version (KJV)6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
Sincerely,
De Maria
