These were your words
>>There is never a thread posted here that has anything appearing negative coming out of Rome but the posters believe it is their work to bitterly complain about all the anti-Catholic bigotry, lies, and etc., etc.<<
See the words “Thread posted here... That means that what you were talking about is Catholic FReepers. Therefore the response given was about Catholic FReepers and how they “bitterly complain about all the anti-Catholic bigotry, lies, and etc., etc.”
You then went off on a five paragraph post about the MSM and how you personally don't like what the Vatican (not Rome, that is a city or a game show host) does.
Wonder why there is no dialog with Catholics? Why we can't even let out a breath of dissatisfaction on FR? Because when we do, we get rants like yours.
I have to agree. How many posts by protestants about Catholics are just excuses to argue about Mary? Before even one page of posts is up, some know-it-all is griping about how we worship statues.
It doesn’t matter what WE say about our beliefs. What matters to them is what they think. No room for anything but bigotry, it appears to me.
