I don’t live my Catholic faith based upon how much I hate other denominations (which I don’t). But the back & forth on this topic typically degenerates into several kinds of Christians telling each other why they’re going to Hell when they die.

Or maybe it’s an old ethnic WASP thing from the days when “real Americans” watched in horror as hordes of mackerel-snappers poured in from Ireland, Poland, & Italy. Catholic immigrants with Anglo-Saxon names were the worst; they looked & sounded like normal people even as they brought their Pope- and Mary-worshipping ways into the land of sola scriptura.

And all the snarky comebacks do absolutely nothing to advance dialogue.

Typically?

Strange; as I've been in a LOT of these threads; and I've not seen this 'typical' rhetoric that you have.

Neither will all the appearences by 'Mary' and her 'suggestions' on what and how to pray.
