To: Barnacle; Quix
Are you as aggressive and condemning towards your fellow Catholics who are charismatics or are interested in end times prophecy? It seems a little over the top to call seeking a closer connection to the holy spirit or to seek to understand end times prophecy as “loony tunes.” I’m neither pentacostal nor Catholic, but I hate to see fellow Christians waste their time bashing each other and even worse hurting the image of Christians overall when non-Christians read these posts; particularly in the context of Free Republic where presumably we are also fellow conservatives.

You're right -- perhaps Barnacle did forget to turn the other cheek when provocated by Quix's little snipes like "maryolators" or "magicsterium".
Are they "loony"? No, I don't think people can be labelled like that for those beliefs and I'm sure Barnacle doesn't mean that either. However, I am sure that Barnacle's comments were more about Quix -- and directed specifically at Quix.

My bias is that
IN-GROUP/OUT-GROUP dynamics, perspectives, feelings, customs, . . .
make for poor theology.
Always have. Will until Jesus Returns.
