This is a religion thread. It is for discussion not blanket condemnation.

Discussion is not proselytizing. This is proselytizing. It is posted as something it is not. My goal is to not let it stand unchallenged. I am a Christian, and I do not agree with roman Catholic dogma which perverts and/or ignores Scripture.

Maybe you should read more about the religion forum.

pros·e·ly·tize verb \ˈprä-s(ə-)lə-ˌtīz\
: to try to persuade people to join a religion, cause, or group

From Religion Moderators profile page:

Open threads are in a town square format.

Antagonism though not encouraged, should be expected Posters may argue for or against beliefs, deities, religious authorities, etc. They may tear down other’s beliefs. They may ridicule. “Open” RF debate is often contentious.

It requires thick skin. A poster must be able to make his points while standing his ground, suffering adverse remarks about his beliefs - or letting them roll off his back.

Members of religions which are as much culture as belief sometimes take religious debate personally. If you keep getting your feelings hurt because other posters ridicule or disapprove or hate what you hold dear, then you are too thin-skinned to be involved in “open” RF debate. You should IGNORE “open” RF threads altogether and instead post to RF threads labeled “prayer” “devotional” “caucus” or “ecumenical.”

This is not proselytizing. It is educational for Catholics. If you don’t like the thread, you can leave at any time.

Catholics evangelize. They don’t proselytize.

You are correct in as much as this should have been been Posted as a Catholic thread.
