You still have not answered my question, however, so I do not know to what extent your objection is to specific statements, or to universally-held Protestant beliefs. If you believe that Protestantism is inherently bigoted, as NL apparently does, then there is simply nothing a Protestant can do, aside from agreeing with you, to avoid being chastized as a “bigot”.

However, having read some comments in this thread which you apparently regard as bigoted ... I have seen vehement disagreement, but not bigotry. I simply do not regard the belief that Catholics are wrong as bigotry any more than I believe that Catholic disagreement with Baptists is bigotry. The conflation of bigotry and simple disagreement is but one of many consequences of liberal over-sensitivity in America.

I did notice a few claims of Protestant heresy thrown about without any chastizement from you regarding “bigotry”. If one side can regard the other as heretical without being labeled a bigot ... then I would figure the contrary would be true as well.

If you haven’t seen bigotry, then what do we have to discuss? Nothing.

An honest attempt to learn the Catechism and history from unbiased sources before forming an opinion would move Protestants away from the bigoted column. Adhering to the 'four legs good, two legs bad' orthodoxy only reinforces my contention.
