Because there tends to be alot of Catholic bashing on these posts. The Catholic religion has had its share of problems over the centuries but so have all religions. But for some reason the Catholics are singled out for alot of bashing. Thats why we are so sensitive
OK, I accept you meant it as a joke. I also apologize for my response because I didn't see it for being a joke.
As to the sensitivity...
It comes with the territory. I'll give you a personal example: I'm starting a business that is "faith-based" but NOT "Catholic"... it's completely ecumenical. To make a long story short...I recieved "active" resistance from every "Protestant" church I approached once they found out I was Catholic (I'm not making that up or exaggerating... too much! LOL!) I even had one prospective viewer tell me he wouldn't become involved with anything "Catholic." Now maybe I'm just personally frustrated at not being able to find a way to "reach-out" to Protestants when it comes to my business plans.
Not on a personal note: You can check it out for yourself...don't take my word for it. Find a "Thread" that mentions a problem with any "Christian" faith... within the 1st 50-100 posts you'll find an "anti-Catholic" comment. The subject may not even be about the Catholic Church (like as this thread)...it doesn't matter, the "Catholic Bashers" come-by and take their cheap shots. Lord help you if the word "Catholic" or "Pope" appears in the title...then they come in droves!
What these "Bashers" don't understand is we Catholics are willing to discuss the problems within the "structure" of the church...but we will not put up with an attack against our Faith!
As for me...I truly believe in everything Jesus taught...except that "Turn the other cheek stuff." LOL!
With all the Catholic bashing I've seen around here ..
I'd say yep
