To non Catholics, please pray and ask Jesus for understanding and direction in these matters.

For Catholics, shame on us for arguing, when we know better. At least I am guilty of pride, when having rocks thrown by at least equally imperfect sinners. Sometimes you just have to laugh and let it go.

Titus 3:9-11 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him, knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.

Proverbs 20:3 It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarreling.

Proverbs 17:14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so quit before the quarrel breaks out.

2 Timothy 2:23 Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.

2 Timothy 2:14 Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.

Proverbs 26:21 As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.

1 John 2:1-29 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: ...

James 4:1 What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?

James 4:2 You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.

1 Corinthians 13:5 Or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

Proverbs 21:19 It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.

There are many more, and really we Catholics should know better.
