Not for the majority of protestants here. For them the purpose is to try and troll to drag Catholics out of the Catholic Church. Many of them are so terrified of having made a bad decision in not being Catholic that they need external confirmation that they did the correct thing.
When I said, “It drives any reasonable debate away and I thought that was the purpose of being here at all.”, I didn’t think I’d find such a perfect example.
I truly am not interested in any attempts at mind reading and attribution of hidden motives.
