Very funny. No fear here.

I am a convert to the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC and APOSTOLIC CHURCH. The Holy Spirit led me to the true church, the one that Christ Himself founded.

That is why I became a CATHOLIC.

And I thank God every single day for making me CATHOLIC.

So you and your un-Christian cohorts can do what you do so well which is totally demonstrate to me by your actions here that I made the right choice.

Wow. The Church is blessed with you coming to enrich it. Thank you.

There is a distinction between the majority of Protestants in the real world who positively believe in Christ and the tiny minority who curse the Church and define themselves negatively by attacking the Church instead of defining what THEY believe -- these unfortunately are the loudest shouters and are the majority of non-Catholic posters on the FR religion forum. These shouting lot tend to be from non-Christian cults or groups like the unitarians, mormons, OPC, JW, etc. and pretend to speak for "all Protestants" -- yet, you will find that all of these are either from tiny cults of up to a thousand people or reject any church with membership greater than 1. You will find the cult of the OPC (membership 20,000 and falling) which is a non-Christian cult that takes the caste-system of Calvin to it's logical, non-Christian end, you will find that this cult is disproportionately represented here and the cultists portray themselves as speaking for "all Protestants".

In contrast you won't find a single Anglican or Methodist on a Church-bashing thread. You'll be hard-pressed to find a Lutheran either (they'll be the one who stay away from insults and stick to points of doctrine -- oh, and the Lutherans also believe in the True Presence in the Eucharist, quite unlike what the Calvinists will try to say) or Pentecostals like the Assemblies of God or other pentecostals who believe in a loving God, not a double-predestination Calvinist god (who damns people to heck before they are born and then controls their actions so they GO to heck)

These attackers (non-Christians many) will try to rend the fabric of The Church, but their methods won't work -- they will only succeed in making our faith stronger.
