How many people do you drive AWAY from the catholic church with your apologetics

That is a silly question. The Catholics almost always write calmly and with reason.
Some Protestants write thus also but many write as if they are snarling and pounding their fists upon the table. Catholics here
almost never accuse others of conspiracy and Evil. Many Protestants do just that. If one is attracted to unreasoning fanatics
then Catholic reasonableness may, indeed, drive them away.

Well...I've made some fairly sharp comments here on FR of late, which could be interpreted by their targets as "accusing others of conspiracy and Evil," but only when Catholicism itself was being accused of conspiracy and Evil.

It's not the unreasoning fanatics; it is exactly the Catholic reasonableness.

I read the Bible, it says thus and such. Catholicism "missed it by that much". Some of their traditions are opposite of what the Bible teaches; but they're their traditions, and they're gonna keep 'em.

Catholicism is a Bible based religion; kinda.
