Why not phrase it a tad differently? Why not phrase it along the lines of: why are Protestants so bitter and jealous of Catholic Christianity? The attacks are a symptom, not an end in themselves. They are missing something; they attempt to create it themselves, but are still missing it. They see us, in a direct line from the Apostles and actively resent us, some knowingly and others unknowingly.
So what? When a little child says something to you that you don't like, do you take it seriously?
i truly think some of the harpies want to be priests and are bitter that they never can be. The way they preach it around here, sure looks like it.
