I’m disappointed that so many protestants are so obsessed with what they fantasize that Catholics believe.

Why worry about it? If protestants think we are going to hell, then let us! If they think that our beliefs condemn us, so what?

It isn’t that we don’t appreciate all the opportunities to hear the wild suppositions about what Catholics believe, so we can set people straight, it’s a “What’s it to ya?” feeling. Speculation on my part would be useless.

Anyway, “Second Hand Lion” is on TBS. One of Rob’s favorite movies, when he was alive, and I think I’ll watch it again, because it’s wonderful.

Second Hand Lion was wonderful. I saw it twice and would see it again if it were on. Great actors and good plot.

It obviously isn’t to convert us because how can them repeating lies about our faith convert us.

If I wanted to convert a Methodist to Catholicism, I sure wouldn’t tell them that Methodists believe some God-awful, stupid stuff. I mean, they are Methodist, they know what they believe and me telling them lies isn’t likely to make them want to become Catholic.

I would tell them of the fullness of the faith, the encounters with Jesus through the sacraments, the wonderful intimacy of Jesus in the Eucharist. I would tell them how our faith is alive and new and ancient too.
