Why must catholics always use the term 'anti-catholic' when you speak of those who disagree with you? Is it something you all agree on when others dispute or debate an issue with you, that somehow in your thinking justifies using that term? Or is it anyone who isn't a catholic is anti-catholic? or both?

Perhaps it's just part of your faith but I have not heard any other church use this terminology so freely and without thought. Nobody says anti-Protestant...nor anti-mehodist...or any other denomination. It seems to apply only in the catholic language.

Actually, the Mormons are pretty proficient at slapping on the *anti-* label as well.

And it’s over the same things. Disagree with their doctrines and show from Scripture where they’re wrong, and suddenly they’re the martyrs and we’re all *antis* and *haters*.

Same old accusations when they have nothing with which to refute your position. Drop back and punt with pejoratives.

What term/shorthand would you prefer?

Possibly because, reading all y'all's posts, it's impossible to tell the truth by saying, "Oue protestant FRIENDS." Do you think we were all born yesterday, and can't decide if someone is disagreeing in a friendly way, or not?

Was that something you could not figure out for yourself?
