As I posted on another thread, I’m becoming Catholic because of FReeper Catholic bashers. I was appalled when I discovered the nastiness and hatred toward Catholics. It was is un-Christian indeed. I started deeply researching the divide between Catholics and Protestants in an effort to discover what I, as a Protestant, was supposed to be so angry and hostile about. Over the years a subtle change came over me, and with much prayer I decided that I needed to come home. I join the Church on Easter.

Have fun. A spirited conversation is not bashing.

Catholic bashers

Part of the reason I became Catholic. I figured that Catholics must be doing something right to be so hated by the world. Welcome home, friend. :-)

Then you joined a church that admits it includes paganism. I would suggest you study scripture to see what God says about including pagan practices. This might get you started.

Deuteronomy 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. 31 Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God:

Why Easter? Why not now? According to the Catholics around here, if you were to die in a car wreck on the way to the chapel, well too bad for you. Off to Purgatory or some other place.

What about the Freeper anti-Protestant bashers with their nastiness and hatred towards those not Catholic? Is that “un-Christian”, too?
