bdeaner,

There is only one purpose for posting an article like this. It is a a shove it up the nose insult to those Christians not of the poster's denomination.

It is far better for us to concentrate on what we have in common rather than our differences. Hopefully, what we have in common is our love of Jesus and our gratitude for His atoning Salvation.

These Radio Replies have been posted on the Religion Forum for a long time. No one seems to notice them unless they contain Church doctrine that Protestants object to. They are not posted to taunt Protestants. They are posted to educate people about Church teachings. Frankly, there is a lot of ignorance about the Catholic Church posted on FR, and it is as a result of that ignorance that many of us, including me, got fed up with it and started to correct the repeated straw man arguments against the Catholic Church. I've been on FR since 2001 and almost never posted on the Religion Forum, but simply got tired of the Catholic bashing and decided to educate rather than allow misconceptions about the Church to propagate.

We certainly do have more in common than our differences. That is a vital point to remember, and I honestly do not believe these posts on this thread or elsewhere are intended to inflame. They are here to educate people about the truth of the Catholic Church. In fact, if you read the article, it's actually very ecumenical in spirit -- pointing out that one need not be Catholic to be saved. I'm not sure why you or other Protestants react so negatively to it, to be frank. The only way I can make sense of it is to see the responses of Protestants as one of convinction. I'm not sure how else to see it.

When Protestants write about their faith, we Catholics usually ignore it (consider how few Catholics post on Protestant threads in the Religion Forum). But Catholics post info on Catholic doctrine, and the Protestants go nuts. Why? Don't you find it curious?
