“Characterizing Protestants as stupid and lazy is all sweetness and light, is it??”

Reading skills.

A remark was made that *some people* are too stupid to understand Catholic theology. It was not limited to protestants. I’m sure if you asked, that poster would be glad to explain that *some people* includes many atheists and even Catholics.

It was also remarked that *Calvinism* is the lazy man’s Christianity. That is a remark about Calvinism, not about protestantism in general. Further, in English as used in America today, to say that something is the “lazy man’s” this or that is not an assertion that everyone associated with that thing is lazy.

Compared to the despicable insults routinely hurled by some protestants here, those remarks are indeed sweetness and light.

Reading Skills indeed. You might want to re-read posts #16, 21, 24, 29, 44. It is QUITE CLEAR that ONLY Protestants were included in the slander. (Nice sleight of hand to try to say I was claiming ALL Protestants were attacked here, but that’s not what I said.) Please follow your own advice and practice the reading skills you are advising me to practice!!

I saw WAY more despicable insults hurled at both the author of the piece and other Protestants than at Catholics on the thread. If this is your idea of sweetness and light, well...enough said, I think.
