if Catholics are snarky at these anti-catholic bashers in FR, it is because these people are so ignorant of what Catholics actually believe it is hard to take them seriously.
It’s not that we don’t respect other believers: We just don’t respect ignorance and illogical arguments.
Then you don't seem to have read what any of these threads have to say. They are FAR from "Catholic-bashing". But, if people are "ignorant", then why isn't there a better effort to set them straight? Why is snark and insult the knee-jerk reaction before ANY attempt is made to educate people? If "illogical" arguments are being made by opponents, then where are the logical counter arguments? Sorry...I've been here too long to believe that "respect" is genuinely the reason for the vociferous and angry tirades that get launched towards others who disagree with what Catholicism teaches.
There are numerous former Roman Catholics here who taught RCIA classes and who were quite involved with their church. I kind of doubt they suddenly forgot all they knew when they left. I suppose it probably helps many RCs to think ignorance is the sole reason behind criticism of Catholicism, but it is simply not the case. Instead of just assuming other's motives and reacting in anger, why not engage in the discussion and try to prove your case with a better argument? That, at least, would garner some respect.
Ma'am; we Bashers POST catholic WRITINGS AND HISTORY.
Which of these do you want us NOT to post any more; for making your chosen religious organization look bad?
Yet you CLING to things like Fatima and magical wafers; too!
