I just know that there is great anomosity between Catholics and Protestants here and it saddens me.

I can only speak for myself. I have no "animosity" toward Protestants. I was raised Protestant, and so much of what I know about God and Christ I learned as a Protestant from Protestants. I'm extremely grateful for that, and deeply indebted to all the Protestants who poured their lives into mine, to ensure that I knew God.

But, I want to ask you a question. What do you think we should do about the division between Catholics and Protestants? Obviously a Rodney King, "Why can't we all just get along?" isn't going to solve the problem.

Don't you think that the best thing to do about it, is to dialogue with each other, exactly what we are doing here?

I appreciate your post. I know, I always wish for the Rodney King thing here on the religious forum, and I suppose it isn't realistic in the least. My main concern is that lurkers read these threads and I wonder if they want anything to do with Christianity after doing so. While dialogue is a good thing, I wish it could all be done with Christian love and respect for each other, differences and all. Too much to ask I am sure! It isn't every poster or every thread of course, but some get pretty nasty at times. God bless you.
