Yes, you outlined my position correctly.
1. I have several people complimenting me on these threads, and informing me that they were helpful to them in their own conversion. Others simply appreciate a chance to better understand Catholicism. Also, my wife is a recent convert from Protestantism and she accused me of not doing enough to show the Protestants their errors.
2. I do not make a sweeping criticism. Much in Protestantism has retained the Catholic Orthodox core and is therefore very good. The love for the Holy Scripture, common among the Protestants is also a very positive example. The Catholic Chruch teaches that the Protestants can be sanctified, and therefore saved, through their love for the Scripture and their good works. Further, I only address specific problems in Protestantism that do endanger salvation of souls: the false and counterscriptural doctrines of Bible Alone, and Faith Alone, their anti-clericalism and their anti-Catholicism.
3. I do not go on Protestant threads to disrupt discussions there. My style of posting is generally calm and academic, and is based on the scripture or, if a Catholic doctrine is discussed, on Catholic catechetical material, so that I can properly explain it. I encouraged the Protestant Freepers to respond in kind and post Protestant conversion stories, but no one has taken up the challenge. Those Protestant conversion stories that I have seen tend to come from people poorly versed in Catholicism or tired of the considerable burden of obedience that the Church asks for. I have not seen a single conversion story where someone was willing to pay a price of any kind with his conversion, while I have seen numerous instances of ministers losing their entire careers, and Anglican priests losing their vocation, in order to become Catholic. These are not conversions made of ignorance or laziness. At least such are the stories I selected.
“My style of posting is generally calm and academic,...”
This is because you have, at base, an Orthodox phronema! :)
If that isn't "sweeping criticism," I am much mistaken. I am glad, therefore, to have your more recent explanation. I am also glad to see your acknowledgment that Protestants can be saved. That topic has been controversial in this thread--there is by no means a consensus among the Catholics herein.
You still fail to appreciate that, regardless of your lack of interjection into Protestant threads, just how offensive your posts are. Both you and NYer seem never to have given it the least thought, much less inventing with the Holy Spirit's aid some winsome way to make your point. The Gospel cannot avoid being a stumbling block for some, but surely there is no need to roll additional boulders around it.
You have given me a fair hearing, so I will subside now, trusting in the Holy Spirit to lead you as a Christian into all truth. I hope you will in the future be more inclined to let Him do the same for we Protestants.
