"You never see threads of Catholics initiating an argument with protestants on FR" alert. See below post for refutation. .

RCs should be ashamed at such a spurious hit piece, which results in the specious nature of Rome being exposed once again, by the grace of God

Evangelicals who want to be on my ping list for threads as this should let me know .

I never knew such a rift existed between Catholics and Protestants as what I see here on FR. It shouldn’t. And, in real life, I just don’t see such a rift.

I am Christian. I don’t care of one is Catholic or Protestant. We both share the belief that Jesus is Lord.

“RCs should be ashamed at such a spurious hit piece”

Just because some guy publishes a piece does not mean he speaks for the entire RC church. I think that Protestants (we’re all monolithic, doncha know!) and Catholics both need to take these sorts of posts with a grain of salt.

This guy is writing as an individual. If there is any shame it’s on the part of this individual and maybe, perhaps, those who take him too seriously.

I refuse to condemn all Catholics, just because a few Catholics act like idiots. I would hope that the vast majority of Catholics feel the same way of Protestants.

We obviously have differences - since we are different versions of Christianity - but I seriously doubt those differences make our souls unsalvageable no matter who shows up for judgement.

I think a better place to start is to assume you’re going to hell, and use whatever tools and beliefs you have to try to change your fate. I’m sure for most of us, the fact that we may be Protestant or Catholic is by far the least of the reasons why we deserve a trip to the underworld. If that was the only factor, humanity would be in pretty good shape, I think.

Ironical isn't it? They post these threads then moan and complain about “Catholic-bashers” when anyone refutes what the article says. “Why can't you people stay off our threads?!”, they wail. “Why don't you stick to your own threads and leave us alone?!”, they scream. Yet...I guarantee if a non-Cath posted a thread that mentioned a dearly held Roman Catholic doctrine, they would be here in a flash doing what they complain is done to them and all the while justifying it as defending Catholicism from the haters and bigots. There HAS to be some kind of spiritual blindness to not see this going on.
