You see what you want to see. Truth is that the cultural biases of Anglos take even the Way of the Cross, which is certainly centered on Christ,as an offense. Bottom line: you hate it because it is something that Catholics do.

That, you think to your detriment. I don't hate anything because a "label" does it. I do hate sin. I do hate false teaching. I do hate things which offend the Lord. All with a passion. I do not hate those who do those things. If I did, I'd keep my mouth shut and let them rot in eternal fire. There is no greater lover for one's brother than that one should lay down their life for them.. I'd say one up that, there is no greater love for another than one who shares Christ with their brother. Giving one's life will save the physical. Giving one Jesus will save the soul. The opposite also is true, there is no greater hatred than to see a brother in sin and let him die in it. That death is an eternal damnation in hell. If I truly hated anyone, I'd never try to correct them and just let them rot. Not correcting another who is in the wrong, to me, is equal to murder. Therefore I'll do whatever I can to make someone see the wrong in a false teaching. And I refuse to defend wrong in anyone, though I'll defend their right to be wrong. If someone will not hear correction, their blood is on their own hands - not mine.
