As you can see I wasn't limiting it to this, but to other threads and articles you've posted.
The "I look at you Catholics as my mission field - my cross to bear" comment is indicative of the attitude of condescension. It's insulting, particularly from someone with so little knowledge, much less appreciation, of Catholicism and of the great work of this Pope.
I don't think anything I've said was an attack.
Call it criticism, opposition, whatever you wish; the point is still the same:
When our passion is focused so strongly on criticising others, on what we oppose, then what we are for is lost and devalued.
When you criticise - with such ignorance - my faith and all it has done for me and millions of others you only make me appreciate it more. And you make even more clear to me that whatever religious teaching motivates you to this effort, I am grateful not to be part of.
It's up to God to use me if He so desires.
Even in ways you do not intend. And for that I can be grateful.
From now on I will try to refrain from making quipping comments in responding to Catholics. I didn’t realize there wasn’t a patron saint of humor.
"When you criticize - with such ignorance - my faith and all it has done for me and millions of others you only make me appreciate it more.”
I don't question yours or any other Christian's faith. That’s not my job. I do criticize leaders who fail to properly lead their flocks. I happen to think the Pope is in error in saying Christians and Muslims worship the same God. You must believe he's correct. I guess I must be ignorant of Catholic teaching since I don’t recall any such teaching.
Most Catholics don’t like to criticize the Pope regardless of whether he’s right or wrong. This is what makes you a great Catholic.
