My Grandfather also attended Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville. He really despised Catholicism as did my Father.

I have never had any real ill feelings toward Rome but I am beginning to learn.

I have never had any real ill feelings toward Rome but I am beginning to learn.

In the past couple of years, I've learned quite a bit on FR about how the RCC has royally fouled up many if not most of the RC posters on the RF.

I have no ill feelings at all toward Rome. It's the Vatican that is not very likeable and the manner they've indoctrinated so many RC FReepers to have an arrogant "We are the one true church" superiority-complex regarding non-RC Christians. It's made evident on FR by the pure hokum, distortions, untrue accusations that never end, and infantile yet still deceptive tricks of circular reasoning on the reader's the mind and heart.

Furthermore, some RC posters on FR seem to be political liberals in conservatives' clothing. Some other FReepers don't like that.

My in-laws are all strong Baptists and I think some of them had some real doubts or dreads when I (a Catholic) married into the family. They have all been most gracious from the start; it's one of many experiences that long-since immunized me against any animus against non-Catholic Christians.

I run into some --- what shall I call them? --- Irritants out there who can be ungracious to us Papists, but they can't even put a scratch on my respect for Protestants/Evangelicals/Baptists/Anabaptsts/Non-denoms as a whole. BASIC. Brothers And Sisters In Christ.

I never did either but this forum has taught me the feeling sure ain’t always mutual

I don’t like it.....I just don’t see this acrimony as constructive

The real battle here is ex Catholics versus diligent Catholics

The rest of us just take indiscriminate fire as “you Protestants”

As if were monolithic....which belies the ignorance of the earnest and righteous

I simply have never in my life known Catholics like some of the black flag crew here

It can’t be normal
