I still say “love one another.” You can’t change the other person, only how you react to him.

>>I still say “love one another.” You can’t change the other person, only how you react to him.<<

I say, Amen.

I have been told that “ministering” to Catholics is part of the religion of some here. That posting misinformation is fine because some are “called” to do that.

Lurkers come here and see that misinformation. We are charged to “Love one another”. But also charged to defend our faith.

What kind of “Love” can be shown to a person who stubbornly lies about our faith? How do we teach and defend when one or two posters will not have that dialog? Posting the same lies over and over?

I’m Catholic, married a Protestant, have a Baptist sister, Charismatics, Evangelicals, Church of Christ, Lutherans and Presbyterians in my family. I have never seen as much bile thrown toward the Catholic Church as is “ministered” here.

The only blessing that I see is that on a normal basis, those who are searching see the misinformation and through the conversation, also see that those who are “ministering” to the Catholics remain stubbornly self-righteous. We are the FoxNews of these threads.

And that is a good thing.
