"I am surprised that our Catholic brethren have entertained them with replies for as long as they have."
And if you are a Protestant would the Cathoic brethren on this thread consider a brother?
"Cathoic"
Sorry. = Catholic
The Catholic Church states in our Catechism today that Protestants are our seperated brethren. That aside, if anyone comes in the peace of Christ, I am willing to treat them with the respect I would afford any Christian. If someone wants to tear down the Catholic Church, then I am ready to go do battle to protect it. That simple.
Yes, they would and have done so. Contrary to what you may believe, all Catholics do NOT hate Protestants and all Protestants do not hate Catholics, nor do both "live" to disagree with the other. There's too much "Father's business" to be about doing. Instead of working so hard to further the divide between us, why don't you find some common ground and and work towards mending the rifts that exist so we can work together? Do you honestly think you are promoting the Gospel or defending the faith with your posts? Please don't delude yourself.
