thin skinned “anti-Catholics ???
Do you know what happened on August 24, 1572 ???
In La Rochelle, France and some other places, thousands men, women, and children including babes in arms were slaughtered by CATHOLICS just because they chose to believe what God says in His Bible and not fairy tales of the Catholic Church...
The victims were Protestants, Huguenots, and the St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre is prominently listed in every document and book on the Huguenots...
there was no “Catholic bashing” that day by “thin skinned anti-Catholics”...
the Catholics were showing how thin skinned and anti-Bible they could be...
The Catholics were the ones who were bashing, and worse...
as the Huguenots fled into the “Low Countries” of Belgium and The Netherlands and to Ireland and England, they were arrested by the soldiers of the Catholic king and searched and killed for carrying a Bible...the Huguenot women started baking them into their big French loaves to hide their precious copies of the Word of God in French...
Yes in French so that the common people could read the Words of God for themselves and not rely on what the pope of their local parish priest had to say about their idea of God...
What a concept...reading about God and what He is saying to us...and going to God for themselves with the LORD Jesus Christ as their Mediator and Advocate... and not a mere sinful ignorant man...
Several of my own Huguenot ancestors fled to London, Bristol, Leyden, and made their way to the New World, some helped by the purse of the English king...
When my ancestors built the new town of New Rochelle in New York state, it wasn’t just another town, the name meant something to them...a reminder of that other Rochelle city they had loved and now they lived in another where they could freely worship God without fear of death...
The Catholics kept on killing and persecuting Protestants in France until the Edict of Nantes in 1598 which gave religious and civil liberty to the Huguenot...well at least until 1685 when the Edict was revoked by the Sun King...Louis XIV
So that makes it ok personally attack individual Catholics here on FR by calling them vampires?
Perhaps you should ask Jim and the mods to purge FR of all Catholics.
Am I getting that hypocrisy thing now metmom?
