Yet on these threads, non-catholics continuously judge Catholics by what they choose not to eat or drink, by which festivals they choose to celebrate, and how they keep the Sabbath.

P.S. tagline,tagline,tagline.
You one verse wonders always get it messed up...What's the context???
Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
The context is coming out from those who follow the law and ordinances...The context is those under the law judging Christians for eating meat on Friday and making sure their bishops are married with kids...Judging Christians for not observing lent nor any so-called 'holy days'...
Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
The verse does exactly the opposite of what you want it to...
You can do as you wish. But when the Catholic Church declares that it and it alone is the true "church" and that salvation can be found only through it you can expect to be corrected by scripture. If we post scripture and you feel judged it's rather telling.
I believe I said on another Lenten thread ,that I did not care what RC's did.. it is a pagan holiday and if they choose to keep it ... thats their choice
What I do care about is that they see the origins of Rome and understand that they are not "pleasing God" by their traditions.. those were all added by men not by God..
"feeling holy" is not being holy ..
