I really wonder why anyone who was not my friend would keep a list of all the threads I’ve started since April 5, 2008. And what does THIS comment mean: “Honestly, who’s claiming to be too good for what?”?

Because I’M not claiming to be too good for anything. I said, “This is Free Republic and we are too good for that.”

I started the Presbyterian Church threads because non-Catholics start Catholic bashing threads all the time. There have been far more Catholic bashing threads in the last 8 weeks than I have EVER started since I began here 10 years ago. And I’m tired of the Catholic bashing threads. Especially during our HOLIEST SEASON.

Since it seems that presbyterians get all wee-wee’d up about threads critical of their church, they MIGHT realize how it feels. Evidently, that connection is over their heads.

Who is this "we" that you speak of? The statement "I'm not claiming to be too good" stands in ironic contrast to the prior statement/claim that "we are too good". Based on those recent Presbyterian-bashing threads, it would seem that somebody must think that FR isn't too good for that sort of thing.

And right there is another thing that I'd like to know - what is it with this recent Catholic preoccupation with male genitalia, anyway?

Spirited: Long before the Reformation, and long before the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Church there was Christian theology. The Christian theology of the Church Fathers.

The enemy must love how the Church has fractured itself. The enemy of course, played no small part in the breakup of the Church, and how wonderful it is to him that not only did it turn against itself, but even after hundreds of years its’ fractured parts still cast aspersions at one another.

A house divided cannot stand. Once the most powerful and influential Church (Roman Catholic) has been decapitated, we can be sure the enemy and his infernal legions will pick off the remainder. And it will be as easy as shooting ducks in a barrel.

And we can blame no one but ourselves. For it will be our stiff-necked pride and our lack of forgiveness that will be our downfall.

Can we not forgive and stand together?
