Catholicsism is virtually never referenced in any of the non-Catholic churches I have ever attended.

Perhaps not in word, but always in deed.

Our source of identity is being in Christ, not by who our *enemies* are, as the Catholic church bases its identity on.

Catholic identity had been well established long before protestants ever came on the scene. Not our fault protestants suffer from an inferiority complex.

And it's that elitist, snotty attitude of *we're right and y;all are going to hell because you're not Catholics* that puts the dividing wall up.

There's nothing elitist or snotty about having Truth given to us by God. It's just the way it is. The wall is a protestant invention. Put up the day protestants decided to declare non serviam as their organizing principle. Substituing their own man-made judgment for the Truth of the Roman Catholic Church. It's unfortunate. Perhaps if protestants weren't so filled with self-deifying pride and practiced some humility we might get somewhere. We can always pray.

It's Catholicism that tells the world that they have to convert or go to hell.

Unlike protestants who rebaptize Catholics or dare to put God in a man-made box by limiting His mercy in proclaiming the invicibly ignorant are going to Hell. Or the Calvinists amongst us who believe God created beings specifically for the purpose of eternal damnation. Yeah. Ok.

You guys been 'praying' for HOW long now?

Evidently your prayers are being unheeded by Heaven.

I wonder why?

Said with a condescending, holier-than-thou attitude.

Check in a mirror first.
