‘unsolicited advice’ is ignored....

however, direction from one in authority is not ignored...

so how did that exactly workout - ignored or not ignored.

‘mother/daughter’ fights are some of the most brutal
spats one can observe...

For unity sake, many protestant daughters have no problem with their mother’s
-calendar
-sabbath day
-holy days (two at least)
-greco roman latin transliterated name for the messiah of Israel..

Sometimes mothers and daughters dont realize how much alike they really are..
The world’s system of working to a peace is for the parties to focus on what they have in common and build from there.

Certainly those are some foundations to either build on or jump off of.. depending on where one stands...

What do you call a person who is preoccupied with someone else’s faith ?

Paul was Evangelizing and his target audience were Gentiles, who were PAGAN.

Whereas SOME protestants on FR never get off the subject of Catholics, which is why I say:

Catholics live rent free in the heads of protestants.

Maybe someone uninvolved can explain it.

As a Protestant, I can’t stand these Protestants that do this. They even have a creepy ping list for Catholic bashing. It’s embarrassing. Don’t even get me started on the list members that praise themselves for their ability to post scripture in red. They remind me of Ray Stevens’ “Mississippi Squirrel Revival.”

So you as a Protestant are protesting the Protestants...

This is a stain on Free Republic. Wasted band width by people claiming that their way to believe in Jesus better than your way.

And you wanted to get in on the stain...

Well that ‘splains it all...Catholics never bring up protestants because we know ‘you are saved’, which is why we never bring up, talk about, strategize over, or otherwise consume our little Catholic brains thinking about anything ‘protestant’.

Never is a long time to go without paying rent. This is just in the last seven days:

Amen. But the Lord’s Word is all-powerful, and His love eventually prevails. It’s why Christians stopped the Klan from spreading their perverted method of saving souls; those who truly understand win out.

When I see your posts I think of Miss Maudie from To Kill a Mockingbird when she told Scout that some people are too busy worrying about the next world that they haven’t learned to live in this one.

Nope. Just trying to say how pointless these threads are. Just utter pointless bickering that does nothing to defeat Democrats. I wish that each Freeper that is about to post another thread that will generate these stupid arguments between Catholics and Protestants would step back and take a breath. Then post an article about the dangers of, say, Islam instead. Then we could all get on board and agree for a change...

Catholicism have been equated to Islam by a number of protestants.

I post to defend my faith and have otherwise never originated a single post especially about my faith.

Speaking of Islam if Catholics specifically Frankish Charles ‘The Hammer’ Martell who was responsible for stopping the spread of Islam at Tours in in 732 and Don Juan of Austria defending the Holy Roman Empire at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571.

Even though the official Catholic Church position is to reconcile with Islam, which i believe will never happen, I believe the next time it gets hot with Islam the Catholic Church will be there to defend our faith.

....we have you Gamecock, Iscool and others coming in to pee in the soup. Not just occasionally but every single time, so there is no discussion only name calling. It is amazing the vile anti-Catholic and insulting things you say to Catholics in your posts. It is easy for you to say it because you re anonymous, but I bet not one of you would open your mouth with that vile trash directly to my face - not one of you. You insult my faith, my parents faith and my children’s faith and you do it with impunity since you are hidden. If you did it to my face the next thing you would know is that you would be picking yourself up off the ground.

Says a man(?) whose mother did not name him "LurkingSince'98", whose own posts contain vile and insulting things, as reproduced above.

like I said Alex someday you may open your mouth to the wrong person, God willing it will be me.

For all you know, it may have already happened. Is it safe to assume that you've served time for assault?

We are Growing! Increasing Number of People Coming into the Church this Easter

by Steve Ray on April 1, 2014

Some U.S. dioceses are reporting that 2014 will be an unusually fruitful year, in terms of the number of people welcomed into the Church. By Charlotte Hays

WASHINGTON — Speaking of the prospect of becoming a Catholic at this year’s Easter vigil, Sheila Bidzinski, a 36-year-old mother of two little boys, excitedly admits, “I hope I won’t pass out, but I have told my husband he has to get behind me in case he has to catch me.”

When Bidzinski, who has been studying the Catholic faith with a group at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Derwood, Md., comes into the Church, she will be participating in what one commentator has dubbed “a boom.”

The Archdiocese of Washington, where Bidzinski’s parish is located, will welcome the largest number of candidates and catechumens ever recorded for the archdiocese this Easter. The archdiocese will baptize or confirm 1,311 adults, children and teenagers this Easter.

“What we have seen for the past three years is a steady, incremental increase [in the number of people coming into the Church at Easter],” said Sara Blauvelt, director for catechesis of the Archdiocese of Washington. Blauvelt said that she finds it “particularly exciting” that there has been “a significant increase in the number of catechumens.”
