I thank you for this post, Kolo.
And MD, thanks for yours which precedes Kolo’s.
You two have made my forays into the religion forum a blessing and a true learning center.
I admit that I pass by most of the posts on the forum, but I always stop to read what Kolo and MD have to say.
And FK, you have been a great example of Christian good will in your exchange with Catholic FReepers. It helps to soften some of the more harsh rhetoric aimed at us. Thank you.
Blessed be the name of Jesus.

Thank you for the very kind words, ROE. While I do have my more acerbic moments :), I find that reasonable civility always leads to the best and most informative exchanges. I really AM interested in learning more about what and how my Latin and Orthodox brothers and sisters think, and I have been VERY blessed here on FR with great conversations with VERY knowledgeable folks. People around here REALLY know their stuff. :) It has been wonderful. Even if I still disagree on this or that, at least when I am talking with or even witnessing to others I can do a much better job of being fair with the Latin and Orthodox faiths. I feel led to have that be a duty for me, as we are all Christians.
