Seems to be a lot of things here I agree with...Any Protestant agreements, disagreements based on the bible???<<

I'm almost always happy to discuss the Bible and what we can learn there.

I could write a book on my concerns about and differences with the Catholic church. I could never be Catholic.

I could also write a book defending the Catholic church - they have faced so many obstacles, do so much good, work to correct their errors over time and when I heard John Paul II speak or I hear my friend, a retired nun, I KNOW I hear sincere Christians seeking to do as God asks.

And I certainly don't have a problem with stating that I think an action is wrong - whether we are talking about terrorism or someone stealing from or harming others while they claim to act in God's name...

But this paper feels bad. It feels deliberately hurtful. It doesn't matter if Pastor G. Reckart gets some details right or not if the intent is to harm other Christians and their faith.

I keep coming back to this. God wants us to be good to each other and to love Him and ask forgiveness when we do wrong. Those three simple things that God asks simply don't call me to judge the faith and worship of other Christians.

Thank you for your informed and wise feedback.

A big amen to that!
