If a Catholic feels the need (virtually) to jump up in front of people who weren’t talking to or about him in order to ... again ... express his opinion that their beliefs are erroneous, then perhaps he is motivated by sincere concern for their wellbeing. Only he can say.

There are people who are agitated by the existence of people holding different beliefs, and there are people who aren’t agitated. I’m not agitated. My real life is more than sufficiently exhausting.

Assuming that you are a CPA, I relate. I am not agitated, either, but your remarks are non-sequitor. I noted that the great majority of OPs here are from RCs posting chest-pounding articles saying, “Look at us, we are good, we are best, we are the real ‘church’, our guy saw Mary eating a bagel.” or some such claim.

And, just as you would say (without being agitated), “Sorry, you misunderstand, the IRC does not allow that deduction.”, it is not unkind to say, “Sorry, my FRiend, your group’s doctrines do not comport with Scripture. They are fabrications of traditions (layers & layers & layers, etc.) not based on the text.” My concern is only that the “code” says something quite different than what Rome claims and this affects people’s safety.
