Conclusion:
I realize it is hard to be a Protestant. Some verses in the Bible works, and most of it doesn't.
My opponent uses old issues about Catholicism. Just imagine it all started about "Mary, the Mother of God", down to indulgence. It is true, Protestant are hard headed with comes to Mary, Angels, and Saints.
What I could not understand to the Protestant side is that; Why take a Authority from a Book rather from the source? The Bible does not speak of Authority to it self...Plus, the Apostles at that time knew only the Old Testament. I think if Saint Paul only knew his letters would be used in the Bible, he might clear some words or phrases he is using.
Protestants love to quote Saint Paul, and left Jesus' saying as merely spiritual.
My opponent claims that they had traditions from the early church. The truth is they do not have any tradition linked to the Apostles to start with.
When my opponent could not answer about the tradition, he never backed it up, and never spoke of it again. Protestant always do that...hide their tail when Catholic Apologist try eating their argument whole.
I think the only way a Protestant's win in any discussion is when Catholics does not know anything about their faith. As a Filipino, being a Catholics is being part of the history and culture of our country.
If you are a Protestant living in the Philippines; you would be wasting time in church built inside Malls, or stuck your self at home, when every body is singing Christmas carols. In other words, Protestant punished themselves for not seeing the truth of it.
