You might not believe this, but I actually met her once. I was introduced as part of a large number of other community "ministers," so I didn't really "meet"
with her, I just "met" her. As far as being a "legalist" herself, I can't say. However the Roman Catholic church in many of the ways in which it has applied it's beliefs has been legalistic.

Yes, sadly, there you have it. We'll be at it for a while... Especially when it comes down to how to apply the teachings of the NT in today's modern world. But that's why we have these boards.
