The short answer to your question is no.

I am not aware of Catholics flocking to Baptist, Lutheran, Calvinist or any other non-Catholic threads and telling the participants that they are wrong simply because of their denomination. If this does happen, then I think it is disgraceful.

Most Protestants with whom I am familiar express none of the anti-Catholic rhetoric that I have seen in this thread. Perhaps they believe it, but they do not openly state it. To say "we're all so excited about Jesus we just want to tell you about it, AND OH BY THE WAY EVERYTHING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHES IS WRONG," is an anti-Catholic insult.

But far too often, merely the mirror image of what we have to put up with coming our direction.

It happens all the time that Calvinists swarm to the Arminian threads and vice versa, Preterists to Dispensationalist threads and vice versa, x-Mormons to Mormon threads and vice versa, etc.

This is NOT a closed thread. Closed threads are devotionals, prayer threads and threads designated as a caucus for a particular confession.

On closed threads, challenges to the host confession are strictly not allowed. The assembly will not be disturbed.

This is an open thread. Challenges are allowed here, just like in a public square. Posters who take such challenges personally, should stay away from open threads and instead go to the closed threads - otherwise, every open thread he frequents is at risk of becoming a flame war.

Even atheists mount their challenges on open threads and surely seeing God referred to as a "pink unicorn" would cause an even greater offense (or should, but in fact rarely does, which indicates a deeper problem here.)

On open threads, the poster must "suffer the adverse testimony" and mount a rational argument to debunk misunderstandings, errors, false doctrine, etc.

.."we're all so excited about Jesus we just want to tell you about it, AND OH BY THE WAY EVERYTHING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHES IS WRONG,"

Please don't put quotes on that like I said that .. I never said that. That's sorta like bearing false witness, ya think?

I would hope that Catholics would be excited about Jesus also? So I'm not thinking you're upset about that.

I never said the next part of your statement, so .. well, goodbye. I apologize if I offended you.
