'I'm a Alabama protestant that has LOTS of friends who have black proddie friends. Heck, they all get along so good, they don't even mind that the confederate flag still flies over their backyard patio. I think it's because they know that there will always be "call to sinners" given, all the proddies holding hands, with everyone singing "Just As I Am" by the banks of the baptizing river out back..just as long as there aren't no catholics trying to mouth the words to the song. We ALL know they don't ever sing it at their church. NO, they're too "holy" for that song. Think they're better than us, what with the big organs and candles and all.'
That is how it sounded, to me. Like I said, I'm certain you didn't mean it that way, but..
smvoice: No you rang me first. So lets just end the phone calls here and now. 1) Alabama and MS are two of my least favorite places for the record, 2) And yes, I am sure those Black Alabama folks love that Confederate Flag?????????????? Yes, right. 3) In no sense do I think I am better than anyone at the theological level, I suffer from fallen human nature like everyone else [what historic Catholic Doctrine refers to as Original Sin].
Now just so we can end this and be 100% honest, culturally, Alabama and MS and those type places don’t agree with me to be 100% transparent so how about you and I respectfully end the phone calls here and now.
