At last...we now know where all the vitriol comes from against "not-Catholic Christians"! It's failed, former Protestants who like former smokers are the most adamant to defend their newly realized position. How many times have former Catholics here been castigated as being guilty of the same things? How many times have we been reminded that, "once a Catholic, always a Catholic"? It's good that the reasoning behind such assertions has been exposed and taken with a large measure of salt - as it deserves.

I think this is where someone is supposed to say, “he was poorly catechized or in sin.”
Actually, this is the place where someone decides that it's because of moral failings, like they wanted a divorce and couldn't get one so they became Catholic so they could get a church sanctioned divorce, aka annulment, with the church's blessing, all for a modest fee, of course.

You have seen no vitriol from me, and you knew you had not when you wrote that. Let’s see, when a person utters a defamatory statement he knows to be false, what do we call that?
“It’s failed, former Protestants who like former smokers are the most adamant to defend their newly realized position.”
As Lenin said, “Accuse others of what you do.” I am in no way a “failed, former protestant” — I just traded up.
“How many times have former Catholics here been castigated as being guilty of the same things?”
Firstly, “castigated?” Never.
Secondly, if former Catholics are guilty of “the same things” (not sure what those are) it in no way follows that former protestants should be.
“How many times have we been reminded that, “once a Catholic, always a Catholic”?”
Show me one.
Even so, quod licit Jovi non licit bovi. Catholicism is true; where Protestantism differs from Catholicism, it is not true. Protestantism is not on the same moral footing as Catholicism.

Rave on, Napoleon. Your writings are utterly bereft of reason.
