The nasty personal comments seem to have been ratcheted up by some RCs who apparently can't defend their beliefs with anything other than sticks and stones and name-calling.
Tell me, is it worse to be called a "pinhead" or worse to be called an "idolater" and a "blasphemer"? Which would you, personally, rather be called?
That being said, when some "Reformed" Christians on here call Catholics "idol worshippers" or fill-in-the-blank accusation, we're going to take it personal.
What a load of garbage. I click on Catholic stories to find information I'm interested in, and instread regularly find a group of disruptors going on about Mary or praying to saints or some other item that was of great importance in 16th century disputations. This disruptors come to gratify their ego or their spleen, and they never leave. I am tired of it, as are a number of other people. I never go on Protestant stories to begin attacking the beliefs of Protestants. Never. In fact, I believe all Christians need to work together to combat the common enemy, an enemy that is growing in strength and polluting our culture. You can call this enemy secularism or relativism or atheism, but we all know the enemy is out there.
If you're really interested in saving souls rather than scoring cheap debating points, confront that enemy. Try to convert those who don't believe in God or don't believe in Christ. And leave those of us who do believe alone.
