>>Defend your faith without rancor or accusations.<<
So those who slander should be allowed to slander? That is not quite defending is it?
Sorry FRiend, but putting up “facts” from Anti-Catholic sites is a bit more than having a discussion. Christ said 70X7 for a reason. There is a limit, or He would have said always turn the other cheek. Maybe you haven’t seen the same slander going on for years, by the same people. I have. And telling people to prove their accusations is NOT rancor or accusation. That’s the Chicago style politics in action.
I have to say that some of the people who come here and slander the Catholic Faith are truly righteous people. I’ve had some fine conversations off board with them. Some others, I feel would recoil from me wearing my crucifix if they saw me bleeding on the street. That’s not attributing emotions, that is just the way I feel.
I’m not pushing my beliefs on anyone, just defending my own. I’m not going to be so bold as to tell someone his/her faith is wrong, because I am not God.
There are those who debate doctrinal differences, but do so in a polite and honest fashion.
Unfortunately, there are also some here who are nothing more than bigots who will openly lie and fabricate falsehoods to fit their agenda.
