Yah' know... I've really tried to stay off these Catholic-bashing threads, but in the excruciating read down this one I simply can't resist any longer.

I'm not even Catholic. Technically speaking I was raised Lutheran and came into my own as an evangelical. But I do think that anything that diminishes any of us, diminishes all of us.

There's been a whole lot of diminishin' goin' on around here. While I might have my differences about the essence of the eucharist I would still not EVER presume that I could rightly take communion in a Catholic service. It would be wrong for me to do it, not because of what I might believe, but because of my respect for what they believe.

Who's right? I dunno. Someday I expect we'll all find out. Come that day I also expect we'll all have something to feel kinda silly about. But I for one will not bother to cause my brother to stumble in the meantime. Because, like it or not, we are all brothers in Christ.

Whatever the differences, we got way bigger fish to fry.

Amen. This sort of disrespect among Christians is a scandal in general and should cause one to examine one's soul for vainglory in the particular. Another sorry FR religious spectacle.

I add my biggest, heartfelt, and TOTAL amen to that!

Yeah, it does get a little 'intense' sometimes, doesn't it?
