****Totally uncalled for on your part. Religious freedom is allowed here I think.****

Boy was I wrong.

I did not know FR was a Roman Catholic site. Sheesh ..... all these years.

I don;t think a questioning of Catholic religious practices had anything to do with post #12 being pulled. the poster had some very valid questions. it was the uncalled for out and out sliming of Mel gibson and his church that got the thread pulled.

The two things are different, there have been some spirited discussions about Mary and catholic views on many other threads that have stayed up. But to attack Mel and wish that his church is destroyed goes beyond the pale.

I myself, was raised Presbyterian and am now Southern Baptist. Personally, I have many questions about Catholicism and I disagree with much of their traditions and practices; but I am going to see this movie because no matter the differences in our Churches, we all believe the same thing -- The Lord Jesus Christ died up on the cross so that we may have life everlasting.

Well I'm here...and I am very willing to discuss Catholic or Protestant(Baptist) doctrine with anyone. BUT, it would be off topic and take away from Carlo's thread.

Roman Catholics are not your enemy friend. You would do better to direct your animus at the secular humanists whose gospel is moral relativism.

After all, it is a Roman Catholic who has put the Lord Jesus Christ front and center in the minds of all Americans.

And one other thing, RC's do not think that Mary, the Mother of the Lord Jesus, is a deity. It shows a profound misunderstanding of RC doctrine and tradition to claim such a thing.

Lighten up. Work for the unification of all Christians. You can debate Mary on a relevant thread, and in a relevant and respectful manner. Catholics are your brothers and sisters, treat them with respect.
