I think there are left wing elements that have taken over many Catholic groups; just like our Protestant churches. All the “social justice” (IE communist socialist) groups, the anti war nutcases, etc..
As far as major doctrinal differences, there are many and they are deep.
I really don't want to get into that; as it is a fruitless fight that will never be won on this earth anyway.
I think for us to fight that fight is completely wasteful on this forum.
That was the point of my sharp comments to you. It can take a thread and extend it for 300 posts and not accomplish anything.
They won't change, I won't change.
We are united hopefully by strong opposition to big government and Obama style socialism, etc.

Paul contended vigorously for the true Gospel and many of us around here are persuaded that we are doing the same. If you wish to limit your remarks to political threads that reflect your agreement with the vociferous Catholics, that is certainly your perogative. I don't believe anyone will criticize you for such a perspective.
But, there is are all sorts of discussions taking place here, a significant portion of which are reserved for grappling over these other matters. And, sometimes it becomes apparent that the disagreements find their roots in deeper matters. For example, this thread. It began with a Catholic making some kind of point. It was my intention to clarify that, whatever his/her motive was, our distance from the kook referred to in the article was as great as it was with the Catholic Church's errant perspective. We don't limit our criticisms to just the Catholic Church. Thanks, my FRiend, for your input.
