You really are drawn to try to bring down the Catholic Church.

I grew up in the Methodist church, having both sets of grandparents as ministers. I never heard any discussion of other denominations there. But, I had cousins, other family members who were Baptist, some Pentecostals, etc. who brought up Catholicism in a bad way every chance they got. I dare say they preached more against the Church than they did for Jesus. Maybe you could answer some of that for me. I just never understood the anger.

Yes at night earstohear stares at her map with pins and yarn thinking how can *I* bring down the Catholic church? What is happening is a poster on FR is laughing at the completely unbiblical presentation that a human language gives the name of Jesus an extra boost during an exorcism.

LOL, I did not know I had the power to do that (gates of hell and all that , you know) !

You seem to have a hard time understanding people that have a passion for the truth and a desire/ call to share it.

Catholics are mired in false traditions and erroneous teachings, yet in that church there are men and women elect of God to be His adopted children. As a believer it is my responsibility to present the truth and the gospel and pray that God opens their ears and eyes to hear and believe.

Anger would desire harm to people or vengeance, it is love to desire Christ for others.

Sorry you have never understood the truth of that.
