Such fine Protestant tolerance like the Blaine Amendments?

What wonderful tolerance such unbigoted men like James Blaine demonstrated in their desire to see Catholic kids freed from their religious prison and given the chance to study the KJV in public schools -- while having the laws changed to ban any public funds from going to Catholic schools.

What wonderful tolerance has been demonstrated by our Protestant friends over the years!

"What wonderful tolerance has been demonstrated by our Protestant friends over the years!"

Hilarious! I don't wish my Catholic friends ill, my friend, but I do point out that without great men who operated outside of Catholic Church Doctrine like John Wycliffe, who translated the Bible into the common tongue, the great unwashed masses would not have access to the Word of God - because Rome wanted to control it by keeping it in Latin - which the vast vast majority of people did not understand. That was a bad thing.

Protestants have done many things, many of them bad, Catholics have done many things, many of them bad.

Your point is? My point isn't that Catholics are better or worse than Protestants. In fact, we are more the same than anything else. I'm happy for those who wish to "return" to the Catholic faith. I hope Catholics the world over welcome them if they do.....
