Once again: Why does it bother you that I hope some people stay away from the Catholic Church? Does the Catholic Church automatically have to put up with whatever hate it dished out to it? Does your church? I don’t think you could handle it, do you?

Why does it bother you that I hate someone who clearly hates my Church, ridicules my faith, and mocks my beliefs? Are you afraid you might want to do the same? Do you admire it? Do you secretly want to be like me? What’s the fascination? Why are you so outraged?

"Why does it bother you that I hate someone who clearly hates my Church, ridicules my faith, and mocks my beliefs?..."

It might bother Jesus.

Matthew 5:
43 "You have heard that it was said, `You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
46] For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
48 You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

You have much work to do Sweet Judith.
