a Baptist school, is the only non-public school i can afford.
my child has come home in tears more than once, because of the hatred of Catholics expressed there.
(they don’t know my child is Catholic.)

i asked my child, and they NEVER condemn or criticise Islam, which IS the religion of Satan himself.

i don’t personally know ANY Catholic who hates Baptists.
NOT ONE !
but even in the military when i was on funeral honor guard for a year, there was constant anti-catholic remarks.
i have personally experienced MUCH hate FROM Baptists.
yet even within the past few years, i have respectfully attended services with Baptist friends at their church.
...i freely admit, many of them are BETTER Christians than me, with a better chance of gaining Heaven.

And now, when there are almost 2 billion Muslims, is when we MOST need Christians of all churches, to unite and say “Jesus is Lord”.
and you will forgive me, if i think the Episcopals and Anglicans returning not individually, but as entire churches, is a good thing. And i pray soon the Orthodox will also soon reunite, with what i believe is the Universal church of Jesus.

First I want to say that I am sorry for any hurtful experiences you and your son have had. I truly am. I live in a state that is traditionally Catholic and while I am Southern Baptist I have never experienced the kind of vitriol aimed at Protestants (or Catholics) that I have experienced here. It truly is astonishing to me. In my state we live side by side and I truly had no idea that there were still Catholics who believed you were a heretic if you weren’t Catholic, that you were somehow the “enemy of Christ”, that one needed to “come home” to Catholicism, take pride in Catholicism, etc... I find it truly astonishing - and yes, frankly deeply offensive, unBiblical and wrong-headed. Anyone who puts their faith in something other than Christ and holds it dearer than Christ — be it membership in a specific denomination (be it the Roman Catholic Church, as some here are doing, Methodist, Lutheran, Baptist, etc.), money, fame, whatever — is also engaging in heretical worship - and that is also Satanic. It is, in essence, a form of idolatry.
