I hope you know there are several "Protestant" haters here. Though there are many areas where I agree with Catholics, I am against some major doctrines of Catholicism, but I do not hate Catholics. There are a few FRoman Catholics who are vociferously anti-Protestant - and they consider anyone who claims to be a Christian but not a Catholic is a Protestant - and by their words express a visceral hatred for their fellow Freepers. I do not see disagreement with Catholics over doctrines being equal to anti-Catholic or Catholic hatred. It would be nice to hear a well-respected FRoman Catholic acknowledge this.

I rarely post on these threads because I find them hateful, and very sad, actually. I regret reading the vile posts whenever I come across them on the “latest comments page.”

I have no problems or any beefs with non-Catholic Christians, so I find these threads both regrettable, hateful and such a waste of time. NO GOOD WILL is achieved, or if it is, it’s lost on me.

Be well and may God bless and keep you and everyone you love.

Curious phrasing. Seeing as how the daily modus operandi of the protestant contingent is to mock the Catholic and His/Her Church.

If one actually reviews the Catholic vs. Protestant threads they will find that the dominant group dynamic consists of posts between protestants mocking Catholics.

And the protestant wonders why the Catholic does not give greater consideration to the "fellow Freeper" group dynamic. I mean if we're being honest why should they? When the standard response to a Catholic objecting is, "If you don't like it don't read it." That's not the response of an individual seeking harmony within the group even if they have theological differences.

So you'll forgive me if I find the concern for the "fellow Freeper" dynamic disingenuous.
