Or if Protestants just reaffirm the tenets their faith.

Very true.

EVERY DAY on here there are threads where some group is attacked for their beliefs, yet the people who instigate these attacks are seldom found on threads where they simply affirm their own beliefs.

I can't help but wonder what sort of homilies these people listen to on Sunday mornings.

Look at what is said about Catholics on here on a daily basis and the slurs that are used (most people stopped using words like papist and Romanist in the 1950s or 60s) and ask yourself what the outcome would be if similar thing were said about Jews with slurs that were popular in the past.

And there is just as much viciousness going the other way from Catholics toward Protestants. Which is why I've always tried to avoid such disputes. But now I understand where it originates.
