People post abusive rants against what they suspect is true. They want to suppress the voice of their conscience. Protestants feel the need to bash Catholicism because their consciences are troubled. Protestant converts to Catholicism don’t feel a need to bash Protestantism because their consciences are not troubled.

This is why abusive rants against Catholicism are a dime a dozen, and abusive rants against Protestantism are rare to the point of non-existent.

This is why tens of thousands of books by “ex-Popish priests” and “escaped Popish nuns” have been published, while books by Protestant converts to Catholicism bashing Protestantism as “satanic,” “demonic,” “idolatrous,” etc., simply do not exist.

Protestants convert to Catholicism because they have found the truth. Catholics convert to Protestantism because they want to marry a divorcee or they want to use The Pill.

That was beautiful, close to perfect, you should write for hard left publications, their readers love that sort of creative packaging of the views and people that they disagree with.

ding, ding, ding....I think you win the Kewpie doll.

I have met quite a few prot to Catholic converts - never heard even one of them bash a prot however, most fallen away Catholics who take on the mantle of protestation fell they are duty bound to bash Catholics.
