On his best day Spurgeon was a verbose anti-Catholic bigot who had no concept of humility.
I've yet to meet a Catholic yet who exhibited humility. Most of them are arrogant and condescending to an appalling degree.
FRoman Catholics are no exception.
There's not a Catholic in the world who can justifiably complain about persecution with the history the Catholic church has had for hundreds of years.
Some people seem to bring out the worst in others. Ever wonder why?
