It’s your assumption that only Catholics know the truth and protestants are, well, uneducated, etc., that’s arrogant.
You said: It’s your assumption that only Catholics know the truth and protestants
No. My assertion is ignorance because of inculturation in false doctrines in contrast to Catholics who are taught the Truth (mostly). Therefore Catholics are better equipped. It is not that Catholics are superior for sure.

to defend her responding to an earlier post by saying
What arrogance.
Let's look at the relevant portion of the post:
Most Catholics realize that proddies tend to be theologically ignorant and misinformed and are most ready to educate others to the Truth.To me the difference between the statement and Mary's paraphrase is clear and important.
But here pointing it out would be called "parsing"
Bad argument drives out good; and careless reading followed by protests when clarification is offered makes sure that misunderstanding will persist.
I won't say Protestants are uneducated. I will say there are a lot of non-Catholic freepers who don't seem to do the work necessary for understanding what the other side is saying. I can entertain the possibility that Mary neither ascended nor was assumed. I can certainly understand someone's believing neither. What I can't understand is someone debating or even contradicting the idea but confusing the terms.
But then I remember the word "parsing", which evidently means, "I don't care what I'm arguing against, I just want to argue against whatever it is."
I wonder if they don't prefer rbmillerjr's list of activities to real conversation and debate. Certainly whoever is wrong is not likely to find out once the harpies arrive.
