There is a huge difference between Protestants and prots.

You can have an intelligent conversation with a protestant. Prots give one liner replies, frequently in the form of a joke that does not address the issue. They will focus on a single point that is tangential at best.

A protestant is conversant in history, They understand more than the lies spoon fed to them about the Spanish Inquisition, and the reformation.

Prots HAVE to repeat the lies they have heard over and over to make sure it takes hold. They live and die by Foxe's book of Martyrs as much as the Readers Digest Bible they claim to follow.

The worst prots Are the ex-Catholics. They were generally cafeteria Catholics at best. They leave due to either poor Catechesis or a sin they did not want to deal with in confession.

Above all they have to justify their own departure by trying to drag others out of the Catholic Church. This way they can say: "See how bad it is EVERYONE is leaving."

Still with the smug, self important arrogance in your demeanor.

I pray that some day a boy will point out you have no clothes.

I couldn’t believe how few people were at Mass this past Christmas; not too long ago (not even ten years) we were giving up our seats and standing in the back...
