I taught religion in a Catholic School in Kentucky not so long ago and had Southern Baptists students. It would never have crossed my mind to say or do anything that would undermine their faith in Jesus Christ. This was most important, so although I taught as I should what and why Catholics believe as they do, it was not my place to criticize their Protestant beliefs. I found out from one student in particular that a good and faithful Baptist is more catholic than many Catholics.

We should be careful about how we criticize each other, the unintended consequence might be that faith in the Father, Son,and Holy Spirit is weakened and not strengthened.

Francis of Assisi is quoted as saying “Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.”

God said.

2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction.

Oh that others were like you!

But so many place their faith SO much in the CHURCH; that it appears to us outsiders that Christ is being lessened.
