It’s not disagreements, tiki, it’s attitude. They accuse us of hating the Catholics, which we don’t. But their posts aren’t exactly loving either. We differ in how to be saved. Catholics seem to believe that baptism, Mary, the Eucharist are salvific. We do not. We believe Christ and his sacrifice on the cross and our receiving Him into our lives as our Lord and Saviour are what saves us. I think it’s a big divide.
“We believe Christ and his sacrifice on the cross and our receiving Him into our lives as our Lord and Saviour are what saves us. I think it’s a big divide.”
That is exactly what we believe. The divide is in the constant misstatement of what we believe.
Mary alone is not salvic. Belief in Mary is not salvic. Mary’s place is salvation history is firm, but telling us we worship Mary as a goddess is not only a scandal, but such an untruth heaven notices.
BTW, telling people they aren’t saved and you are trying to save them when they are also Christians is just plain pride.

And that justifies getting nasty right back? Where is the turn the other cheek in all of it?
More flies by honey, right?
Mary, I know your heart is in the right place but some here are nasty for nasty’s sake. Not telling us how they are right but constantly tell how we are wrong. How many hearts are won with bitterness?
If a liberal used the words that some non-Catholics used against us, we would explode. Then we are expected to always take the high road. I’ve fallen into the “group speak” and apologized. It’s nasty and doesn’t belong.

No, it is not the disagreements it is the disingenuousness.
lacking in frankness, candor, or sincerity; falsely or hypocritically ingenuous; insincere
