It's Lent in Rome. That means it's time for one of the great Roman traditions....
....trashing Protestants!

Projection at its finest. Maybe you meant to be on a thread authored by Gamecock? This thread isn't trashing anybody but exploring matters of faith.

One man’s exploration of faith is another’s trashing.
I do nothing but explore. Does that make you...uncomfortable?

If I were indeed trashing, based on the article, you are required to forgive me, right?

” This thread isn’t trashing anybody but exploring matters of faith. “

So this excuse tortures the Lords prayer even worse than the specious argument about Protestants doing the same.

In essence your argument here is: “I’m not trespassing, I’m exploring, so I don’t need you to forgive me, and so I don’t have to forgive you”

It’s like explaining rape as “exploring sexuality” while the one getting raped may have a different opinion about it.

This Protestant forgives you anyway. But really this excuse for “exploration” should be repudiated by Catholics and Protestants together.
