Dear Freepers in Christ,

Just my two cents here. I hope and pray that there will not be another "Anti- Catholic Flame War" on this Thread.

I for one, am immensely fed up with the Anti- Catholic Flame Wars I have either experienced, observed, or read here on FR Since January 2006.

I am still recovering from some or rather a series of Anti-Catholic Comments made by a Freeper to me regarding "Prostitution and the Catholic Church in Germany".

Why is it that "The Catholic Church is painted constantly as some Big Bad Wolf or werewolf so to speak ?

I just cannot understand some Folks here at FR ?

While, living in Atlanta some years back-- I had a number of Conservative Baptist and Presbyterian Friends who were either younger or a bit older than me and they always respected my Catholic Faith and taught me much about the Bible specially "The Old Testament".

I will just pray that no nasty comments will be posted on this Thread today. I am weary and tired as a result of Chronic pain and Health Issues and from stuff I have seen in the last week on a number of Threads.

IN THE RISEN LORD JESUS CHRIST,

[Salvation]

**Why is it that "The Catholic Church is painted constantly as some Big Bad Wolf or werewolf so to speak ? **

Because the Catholic Church has stood firm for over 2000 years on issues of abortion, contraception, euthanasia, etc. And many put the Catholic Church down, thinking they might succeed in raising their denomination up.

However, the Catholic Church is still here and growing!

My apologies if my mail to you offended you, I was just trying to explain one of the reasons some of these "flame wars" occur, though I have only been involved in few of these, the only reason I was ever involved is for the very reasons I sited to you in the said freep mail.
