That must really stick in your craw. 1,600 years of persecution, and those danged Baptists are still here.

The difference is that Catholics are not up in arms about the presence of Baptists. There are no Catholic websites dedicated to proving that Baptists are evil, or trying to control the world. I've never met a Catholic who said: "I really hate those Baptists, they aren't REAL Christians". I don't know what your personal hangup is with RC, but it smells like spiritual juvenilism. If ye love Christ, focus on that most important thing, for then you shouldn't have time left over to hate those who love Christ under a different roof.

"The difference is that Catholics are not up in arms about the presence of Baptists."

It must be so nice to live in your cozy secluded little world. It hasn't been that many years ago (even after Vatican II) that Roman Catholic priests in Mexico and Central America were persuading their parishoners to persecute Baptist missionaries.

After a few centuries of persecution, we Baptists have learned to be leery of anything related to Rome. We recognize that it would only require a small change in RC policy to return to the "good old days".

Note: I normally stay far away from these Protestant vs. Catholic threads. However, AquinasFan's earlier comments were too much for this Baptist to ignore. They really were that bad.
