I don’t spend much time on the Protestant apologetics threads, but the impression I get is that Catholic Freepers don’t jump onto those threads and make ugly disparaging insulting comments. Am I wrong? Are the Catholics just as aggressive in attacking on Protestant threads as the Protestants are on Catholic apologetic threads like this one?

Of course they don't. Once in while I make a smart-aleck remark, as I did on one of their threads about a "Catholic" who declared himself an evangelical (I put it in quotes because only a cradle Catholic or CINO would do that).

My response was "He'll be back" because I felt that if is "conversion" story was as genuine as he says it is -- that is, if the scriptures did begin to come alive to him -- it would be inevitable that he'd return to the Church, despite his currently naive reading of them.

I have been known to occasionally be a bit more sarcastic than that, perhaps not quite as respectful as I should be, but never malevolent or arrogant or ignorant or seething as the attack posts on Catholic threads routinely are.

The biggest challenge for me is defending the Holy Father. I think he is attacked a little less by "Catholic" posters than by anyone else, but not much less.
