I see no point in making this an open thread. It will quickly become a cesspool. As I have no desire to hear what the crazed evangelicals have to say, I will not be participating.
Not my idea of a good time, either. Want to come over to the Undead Thread and read my daughter’s reports from Brunei?
Speaking as a crazed evangelical, the issue for me is Jesus. If you find Him in a Catholic Church, a Methodist Church, or one of those “store-front” churches... that’s all that matters. You and I can walk together and fellowship together over the glories of our Lord.
NYer, a pro-Catholic FReeper posts most of the threads that are not so Catholic friendly. Do a search and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
The post is usually followed up with some type of justification or condemnation of the article. Other FReepers, such as me, post opposing thoughts on said article and are immediately labeled anti-Catholic bigots.
This begs the question, why even post the article, especially un-caucused articles?
Or do some FReepers simply not understand the concept of this forum?
We actually don't have to say anything at all...Your former Catholics are saying it instead...
They are leaving your church for the same reasons we would never join your church...
lol. Roman Catholic apologists doing what they accuse others of. Interesting.
Much of this article is on target. Many many Roman Catholics are leaving their churches for Protestant denominations because, as the article says, so many are...
".....obliged to move to a Protestant expression of faith because I experience God's presence more easily and more conclusively as a Presbyterian and began to do so over a dozen years ago." Presbyterianism works for him in ways Catholicism no longer did. "The Presbyterian confessions and order of worship are very left-brain and made me into a much better Christian," he says..."
and
"...much of Catholic teaching and tradition is made up."
You can fool some of the people some of the time...
ooohhhh.... can we quote some Paul?
***It will quickly become a cesspool.***
WOW!
A comment like that makes it sound like you can’t wait to dive in headfirst!
Why is it all right to refer to "crazed Evangelicals" and what they are allegedly "going" to do when none had said anything?
