a FANATIC/bigot can be defined as “someone who believes something more strongly than you do.”
I rarely find either word all that useful.
Are you aware of any Catholic FReepers who primarily post on threads about Protestantism? And by about Protestantism I mean where the article that the thread is based on is ABOUT Protestant beliefs?
What about Catholic FReepers who show up on Protestant threads and try to hijack the discussion?
Let's look at this thread for instance, it is about some troll's bizarre theory that the Catholic Church wants to bring back the Holy Roman Empire as a dictatorship. So where are the posts on this thread offering a shread of evidence that the Catholic Church is interested in uniting present-day Germany, Austria, Poland, Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Croatia, portions of France and Italy, and other areas in Eastern Europe into a dictatorship?
Where are the posts that even support the notion that the Holy Roman Empire ever even was a dictatorship? It was a quasi-hereditary ELECTIVE monarchy.
The TRUTH is that the Holy Roman Empire recognized Protestantism within a generation of the start of the Reformation.
Here's another TRUTH, were it not for the Holy Roman Empire being victorius at the Battle of Vienna in 1683, ALL of Europe might have been overrun by the Islamofascist Turks.
And here's another oh so inconvenient little TRUTH, throughout the approximate thousand years that the Holy Roman Empire existed, the papacy was among the Empire's most frequent ENEMIES. Read up on the Sack of Rome in 1527, it was the Holy Roman Empire that took the pope hostage.
Nevertheless, if you have ANYTHING to add that would illuminate how Catholic views about the Blessed Virgin Mary have ANYTHING to do with a German empire, by all means let me know.
