Rather than thinking anyone who has "anti-Catholic stuff" in their heads automatically translates to "hatred", why isn't it simply that she disagreed with a lot of Catholic beliefs? I disagree with Catholicism on many doctrines but agree with them on many. Is my anti-Catholicism hatred of Catholics? Are Catholics anti-Protestant haters by disagreeing with Proestantism on issues?
I used to BE a Roman Catholic and left when I learned the truth of the gospel of grace. Over the years I have only grown stronger in my faith and belief that the truth was not found in Catholicism. I can believe that and defend myself without having hatred towards Catholics.
Well, the tone over the years hasn’t been exactly amiable, but I haven’t noticed the mutual contempt for some time — and I certainly don’t miss seeing it. I never quite understood the infighting given the common Gospel.
Would you mind sharing what precipitated your shift away from Catholicism?
