Much of the time, however, certain non-Catholics on this thread have descended to rhetorical “yelling and screaming”, with such words as “blasphemers”, “apostates”, “demonic”, “horrific”, “ghastly etc.

Well some do have a great deal more passion than others which can be irritating to some...however I think most tolerate this to some degree as all of us can and do get passionate in our stance. I've seen some very good debates where passion surfaces and makes for a lively debate..which is a good thing...but 'the topic' should not get lost entirely or even remotely when the passions arise...but stay on mark with it,... that appears to be the problem...not the passion as much as the topic ends up entirely lost and for that the interests of the posters. Then all is lost when continued debate may have brought the truth to the surface. So it is every-ones loss then.

I've read the catholic catechism and found several similarities to the beliefs of Protestants and Evangelicals....but as much several things which make no sense whatsoever, and questions about likely will never be satisfied because they are too far "out-there" for what I believe God says. This does not mean debate about cannot be possible as doing so at least helps to understand why the beliefs are as they are even if we disagree.
