“You might check out how many articles have been posted by NKP_Vet”
Show me an article I have posted that was specifically putting down protestants? You can’t. I post articles about my Catholic faith, which of course in turn is always viciously attacked by the usual haters on FR. Same old garbage, different day. It never changes.
Show me an article I have posted that was specifically putting down protestants? You cant. I post articles about my Catholic faith, which of course in turn is always viciously attacked by the usual haters on FR. Same old garbage, different day. It never changes.
And the reading skills of catholicism never cease to amaze me.
Go back and read the thread....did I say you posted anything putting down protestants? Man, catholics have thin skin.
If you don't like comments made on your postings, hide them behind the causus thread. Then you and all the catholics can hide in your own little world.
It's that plain and simple.
Until then, this is FREE REPUBLIC where we have a right to comment on whatever we want.
You don't need no steekin' articles when you have the CHURCH!!
