It’s not a silly comment. I’ve been on FR since 2009 and outside of FR I do not know any Catholics.
Evangelism is something you have to do all the time. Constantly. When I go out in public I am the face of Christianity to every non-Christian I meet. Like it or not.
When you folks post on FR most of your audience is either lurkers from DU and the media or it’s mostly Protestants like myself. Either way you are always representing the Roman Catholic Church and with every topic you post on its behalf...as was done here.
Just me, but when I meet people I try to be on my best behavior and I try to get to know them and let them get to know me.
All too often you folks open your dialogue with something to the effect of “You silly stupid Protestants have it all wrong...HARDY-HAR-HAR!! (SNORT!!) (SNEER!!)”
Like I said, I’ve never actually met anyone Catholic in person.
Not so sure I want to based on what I see here.
It IS a silly comment. You said, in a nutshell, “Catholics post anti-Protestant stuff, but Protestants don’t post anti-Catholic stuff,” when there was some anti-Catholic article posted within the last few days. I don’t know what everything else you said does to justify your previous comment as non-silly.
You have that EXACTLY in reverse....remember that the Catholics were there for 1,600 years before the Protestant revolution took place. It was the Protestants that ridiculed the Catholics for their beliefs and traditions..
The Catholics said...Jesus took bread, broke it and said "TAKE AND EAT OF THIS, THIS IS MY BODY" and the protestants decided that He rally didn't mean that and chastised Catholics for their belief.
