HMMMMMMMMMMMMM...well I would think it would. Wouldn’t it be a more loving attitude to care if people find the proper salvation. If you think the Catholics have it wouldn’t it be more Christ like to care that they come to an understanding of the church, and what the pope did say????
BTW, I’m not Catholic, I just find it odd how unloving and unsharing of their faith, especially since most believe you have to be Catholic to spend eternity in heaven, Catholics are.
I find that attitude odd in non-Catholic Christians too, the Christians who get offended by evangelism.

Did I say that I didn’t want them to find the “proper salvation”? I wrote exactly this: “Who cares? Does it matter what they think?” And I wrote it in response to this: “Protestants have weighed in and the response has included everything from disappointment to anger.” Now, I didn’t say anything in there about salvation.
“If you think the Catholics have it wouldn’t it be more Christ like to care that they come to an understanding of the church, and what the pope did say????”
Yes, and that is exactly why I think it is a waste of time for them to blather erroneous views about what the pope did say.
“BTW, I’m not Catholic, I just find it odd how unloving and unsharing of their faith, especially since most believe you have to be Catholic to spend eternity in heaven, Catholics are.”
1) Most Catholics do not hold to some sort of belief that “you have to be Catholic to spend eternity in heaven”. If you are trying to express some opinion about “no salvation outside the Church” please quit while you’re behind. Also, I know of no Catholic here who doesn’t desire to share the faith. Listening to whining Protestants complain about the church they’re not even members of is not sharing the faith on our part nor is our rejection of that common enough Protestant habit a refusal to share the faith on our part.
Again, I said NOTHING about Protestants not be saved. Nor did I refuse to share the faith with any Protestant. You are fantasizing. Please deal with what is actually written.
“I find that attitude odd in non-Catholic Christians too, the Christians who get offended by evangelism.”
Depends on what you call evangelism. I know many people who would inwardly sigh if asked by a stranger, “Are you saved?” or “Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?” What some people call evangelism others simply call annoying.
