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.

Problem is, my feelings aren't hurt, so what you posted from the RM's home page doesn't apply to me.

FYI, Since Catholics understand the doctrine behind the article, Catholics who argue amongst themselves contribute to the intelligent discussion of it. Too bad Protestants can't tell the difference.

Yes, this is Free Republic, where articles are posted so that they can be discussed. Protestants, however seem to believe that the purpose of this forum is for incessant arguing started -- and perpetuated -- by insults, sarcasm, ridicule, digs, mocking, etc., not the intelligent discussion of the contents of the article. Maybe you need to find some apologetics forum somewhere that will appreciate Protestants' obsessive yammering.

Obsessive yammering?

On this very forum I had Catholics calling me demon-possessed along with a host of other lesser insults, when the only thing I did to start the conversation was object to being called a heretic for not being Catholic.

Fine, I think I understand why you’re upset about this thread.

But I think you’re very severely mistaken about Catholics always being victims and Protestants always being aggressors.

This was my first post on this thread.

>>However, there is nothing in the New Testament to indicate Mary is our “mother”. The Greek of the passage in question in John does not support the Roman Catholic claim that Jesus gave Mary to all of us.<<

Really don't see the insult, sarcasm, ridicule, digs, mocking,etc...unless you feel that appealing to the NT and using the Greek to counter a false teaching falls under those rather broad categories.
