Why do you do so?

Do you think I'm throwing stones from a glass house by saying:

And shouldn't y'all know by now that those who differ with your doctrines have reasons as well? Face it, threads like this are intentionally provocative towards non-Catholic Christians in their not-so-subtle condemnation of those deemed "children of Martin Luther". Trash him, trash us, right? I'd say expect to be challenged and don't whine when it happens.

Nope...no glass house for me. I don't whine and I expect for my beliefs to be challenged and I am more than happy to back up both what and WHY I believe something. If that is what you call someone "who lives in a glass house throwing stones", then you will have to point out how that applies. Otherwise, I think you don't really understand the adage.

Yes, I do think you are throwing stones.

We need to keep in mind some Catholics have the same thin skin as Obama. They can’t handle the debate and will be the first to resort to either profanity or name calling.

Well; there sure is a PRECEDENT!!

"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours."

--Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215)
