To: Salvation I think the best point was there might be millions of people who hate what they mistakenly believe the Catholic Church to be and to teach Many Protestants are brainwashed in the same way asMuslims -- with the same false rumours potrayed as facts. posted on 03/12/2004 5:23:02 AM EST by Cronos (W2K4!) No complaints from you here. I must assume you agree with this blatant "Protestant bashing".

PRotestant bashing? Now, let's investigate? Did I insinuate that Protestant teaching was incorrect or evil? No. Did I say a blanket statement condemning all Protestants? I said Many are brainwashed. And that is evidenced over and over again as the same litany of supposed crimes by the Church are paraded and the things Catholics are supposed to do -- all of which are false. Oh, and I don't blame the people who believe this -- most just repeat what was taught to them -- as the author of this article pointed out.

So, how is it Protestant bashing? Muslims too are brainwashed. They believe that Christians worship 3 Gods, because that's what their leaders tell them we do. Are they correct? No. Are they evil because they've been mislead? No. Similarly, some Protestants believe that Catholics too, worship Mary and hold her as God because that's what they've been taught. Are they correct? No. Are these Protestants evil becuase they've been mislead? No.

So, on what basis do you call this Protestant bashing?
