Why do non-Catholic Christians attack their Catholic Christian brothers and sisters?

This is SO WRONG.

Scanning through this thread so far, I see a number of sarcastic, sneeringly denigrating references to the Holy Eucharist, using the snidely dismissive term "cracker".

I can easily picture one of the Roman soldiers who put Jesus to death saying (in that same kind of superior tone of voice), "He's just a croaker! He's merely a dead human being -- a croaker, not God!"

"Take a magnifying device and look at the holes in his dead human hands and dead human feet and dead human side. Do you see God in there anywhere, or any parts of God in those dead human body holes? No!! He's just a very dead human being. A croaker."

Faith in the Word of God so clearly provides a strikingly different answer about what that "croaker" and "cracker" really are.

Goodnight all.
