To: Forest Keeper; Full Court; annalex
Full Court, whenever I read statements from Alex like this, which is very often recently, I always tell myself the same thing: "This is the witness of Catholicism." That really helps me put everything into perspective. :)

Well, you would be amazed to see how many "saved" Protestants tell me I am going to hell, am an idiot, don't know what I am talking about, preach a false Gospel, call my Church all kinds of names... The same "saved" ones whom Christ commanded to "...love others as I have loved you..."

Does that mean ALL Protestants are that way? No, I have been fortunate enough to find some very good Christians who happen to be Protestant. I can understand after long conversations, people get frustrated with the other's apparent obstinancy. It probably works in both directions. But because one vents his frustration doesn't "witness to Catholicism". It witnesses to one person's failing - and we ALL FAIL.

So before you get on your self-righteous soap box about the "witness of Catholicism" and condemn one billion people, perhaps you should realize that we ALL have room to grow - and our source of grace is the same. Otherwise, keep your condescending comments private, please.

Regards

I will endeavor to follow your example, Joe. :)
