>>If you want to bash PROTESTants, go to your nearbyCATHOLIC Church.<<
I was born and raised a Catholic and practiced until my 20s. I never heard a single disparaging word about Protestants (in fact, they never came up at all).
One thing I can all but guarantee. We don’t have Catholics on this board trolling Protestant threads, spoiling for a fight, name-calling, and lying about them.

Thank you. I think a lot of people notice that.
Thank you for posting this. I too was born and raised a Catholic, went to Catholic school in fact...and at graduation walked away from the faith into an evangelical situation. I took a very long and arduous spiritual journey through a number of belief systems.
Last year I came home to my Catholic faith, again. I wish I could express with articulate grace just how different the Catholic faith is to me today, than say those so many years ago when I walked away. Today I cannot even get through Mass without shedding a tear or two. The Bible is a lamp unto my feet and the traditions of the faith fill in the blanks once one understands where they are derived from.
Just like a family may keep a family record, so too are the traditions practiced that act as the glue to keep the family together.
Yes, it does pain my heart to see all the anti-Catholic bashing amongst Christians. Oddly, in all my spiritual journey, I never experienced such vitriol as what I see/read take place here on FR. And I have come to embrace the idea of, “shaking the dust from my shoes,” in order to discern through some of these threads.
Nice qualifier...
Know anything at ALL about LUTHER?
