See - it's one of those odd things I've never understood about threads that start out like this: it always begins with some individual spouting scripture all over the place and saying or just implying that Catholics require their intervention.

We don't. We're very happy with our faith and particularly the sacraments and if truth be known, we feel just a little bit sorry for the insecurity of our enthusiastically evangelical Brethren. If they were really secure in their faith, they wouldn't feel the need to rail at us and if they really were filled with the grace of the Holy Spirit, they'd be spreading the Gospel to nonbelievers and atheists and the like.

They don't though. They feel an nearly insurmountable desire to blather at length at us happy Catholics.

I can honestly say that I've never heard a single anti-Protestant sermon in the thousands of masses I've attended and to the contrary, I've heard many ecumenical sermons extolling unity among Christians and Jews.

It's just whistling into the wind but I genuinely hope that these folks find peace in their faith and quit the internecine bomb-throwing. It's embarrassing to themselves and a scandal to Christianity.
