What saddens me when it comes to threads such as these and there is argument on Bible or Church related issues is that we Christians are still fighting over issues that really have no place in the 21st century. The sad irony is that at this time in other parts of the world there are Christian believers, be they Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox that must defend their faith in Jesus against both the atheistic secular progressives and the Isalmofacists, often to the point of giving their very lives up for both Jesus and the Gospel. My plea for all the Christian posters here at FR is to please end the flaming because it does not contribute to contructive and fruitful talk. Thank-you.

I agree wholeheartedly and that was the reason for posting the article: to try to encourage my fellow Christians of the Latin Rite to study their scriptures so that they could follow them more and not allow schismatics to enrage them needlessly. It only encourages the schismatics and does not serve God.

Define flaming, because from my perspective disagreement with Catholic doctrine or practice gets labeled as "Catholic bashing".

And while we're at it let's end the divisive two party system in the United States.

We would be much better off with a "benevolent dictatorship" speaking with one "approved" voice wouldn't we?

Better yet, why don't we join into a "One World" government administered by the United Nations. (Sarcasm intended.)

Methinks we're much better off with the arguments, flaming, and even worse, than we would be in your dreamland.
