YOU made the claim .... that makes it YOUR job to prove it.
Stuff and nonsense. How dare you ask a member of the "Hate-The-Church" brigade to do that?
They have a standard play:
1. Make a random false claim ("Catholics used to play the saxophone in the 2nd century in Church, but that's not what ______ (Fill in random non-Church group) do now.")
2. Church member says "hold on there -- do you have any proof of that?"
3. "Hate-The-Church" member says "
WHAT do you mean? The burden is on you to prove that CAtholics did NOT play the saxophone in the 2nd century.4. "Hate-The-Church" member gets a fit:
"PHREAK! Saxophone wielding 2nd century Catholic BASOONISTS
AND DEMAND, DEMAND, DEMAND MORE AND MORE CONFORMITY TO THEIR OBOE WIELDING DEMONS
DEMAND, DEMAND
5. "Hate-The-Church" member posts some more
lies and states them as fact.
repeats ad nauseum

"How dare you ask a member of the "Hate-The-Church" brigade to do that?" It appears to me that too many are too insecure in their own faith and seek the relative affirmation of diminishing their neighbor in a vain attempt to look better in the eyes of God than said neighbor. At the end of the day God doesn't care which pew you sat in or which Hymn you sang. If you have lived the Beatitudes all else is trivial because salvation will have been achieved.
