There's nothing wrong with it. But there's something wrong with yet another posting on FR painting Protestants as hateful bigots.

I have often written on this Forum defending the Catholic religion from biased posts by Protestants and Evangelicals. Time to be fair -- the Mary doctrine isn't the problem here; the problem is that it is couched in this falsely righteous little story about Protestants saying Mary was "just a common woman" and that the protagonist's sister "would sooner pierce [her own child's] heart with a dagger than allow him to embrace the religion of the Popes!”

Come on, now. That characterization is just nasty, and not at all how the vast majority of non-Catholic Christians see their view of Mary or of Catholicism.

Thank you.

actually it is completely inline with the views of some of the more extreme anti-Catholic bigots here and on the Yahoo forums. I had one woman tell me straight out that if she had suspected her daughter would marry a Catholic, she would have aborted her.
