tjd: It was an eye-opening experience, and I gained a real appreciation for the Catholic Church. I no longer consider Catholics to be "misled" Christians -- thank you. One other problem is that constant bickering hardens the divisions on both sides. For a long time the voice of reason such as yours among the non-Catholics was lost and many Catholics on FR got the wrong impression of our non-Catholic friends. And then the reverse took place and i'm sure many of our non-Catholic friends got the same idea of Catholics.

While we can argue, debate, we MUST remember our commonalities.

Thanks for your comments. I suspect that Catholics and Protestants have more in common than some would like to admit. The differences are significant and not to be ignored, but if each of us is open to the leading of the Holy Spirit and strives maintain a spirit of humility and charity towards those who disagree with us, a lot of unnecessary conflict would be avoided.
