remember my friend, we are only on earth to be a witness to the truth
Thanks for that encouraging Scripture verse.
One thing I've noted, related to your comment about witnessing to the truth, is that most of my posting is exposing against the misinformation and disinformation being posted about the Church. I'm not attacking their religious belief, but just responding to posts about my Church. I think a lot of the Catholics posting here are doing the same.

Some of us have strayed away as it is never ending and such repetition of the same things. Like dogs with bones, they can’t let go.
Every thread regarding Catholicism that is not a closed thread ends up being a defense of Catholicism thread, which is fine, but some of us have taken ourselves out of the game.
Reminds me of babies who drop something on the floor and mommy or daddy pick it up, usually with a soft word or smile as they hand it back. The baby makes the connection and soon drops the toy over and over and over loving the “game” of pick up with their parents.
The parents, of course, tire of the game and after so many times, starts to get annoyed/irritated and tries to stop playing telling the baby, “No more game.” Naturally, the baby gets upset that the parents won’t play the game and begins to wail. It’s a vicious cycle.
I used to be a very frequent poster but now limit myself to something that piques my interest, a new angle or understanding of something, maybe something that has made me look differently at a passage of Scripture.
It’s hard to stay on topic though as the non Catholic Christian of undeclared or unknown denomination or beliefs cannot simply discuss the topic at hand, but when they have run out of rote responses, they just move on to something else; another accusation.
A prime example is your discussion of the Ukrainian Catholics. Their arguments having been shown to be without merit, they bring in the Eastern Orthodox.
