Boy, I'm glad I'm a Baptist and spiritually inoculated against this threat.

"Spiritually inoculated" against a "threat"?

Yesterday I posted a citation from the Catechism of the Catholic Church which calls non-Catholic Christians our "brothers".

You, OTOH, call us a "threat," and use language more suited to a public health campaign against a menacing disease organism. The last group of folks who characterized an entire religion that way ... wore brown shirts.

BTW, don't trust your vaccinations too much. Baptists make fine Catholics; a young Catholic friend of mine is the son of an SBC pastor.

I was raised a So. Baptist and converted in my mid-twenties. I've noticed the same thing over the years. Devout Catholics and devout Baptists are not that far apart.

The Catholics only started calling Baptists, along with other Protestants, ... brothers, ... about 40 years ago or so.

For centuries before that ... we were called much worse.
