To: Dad was my hero; RnMomof7
Are you Catholic (I already know the answer since I read your profile page)? Since the answer I know is no, why do you care what the Catholics believe? You and a couple other posters seem to believe your faiths can only be justified if you attack Catholics. AND I know I’m going to hear from those - why stop by this thread? And it is my last post to this thread but I’m saddened that someone who is filled with such venom can only find relief by attacking the faith of others.

Why shouldn't non-Catholic Christians be able to post about and discuss their beliefs on the tenets of the Christian faith? There are a great many threads posted by Roman Catholics daily on the Religion Forum about the Catholic view of the Christian faith and often there is "venom" towards Protestants/Evangelicals because they don't see it the same way. Roman Catholic Freepers have said many times that Catholicism is the one, true church Jesus established and they alone can define and determine what is the truth of Christianity. Anyone who disagrees or disobeys this "settled" truth is in danger of hell unless they convert. A few have said recently that no one can be saved UNLESS they ate the flesh and drank the blood of Jesus in the Catholic Eucharist.

Isn't it equitable that non-Catholics be allowed to say why we disagree without being accused of attacking Catholics and being anti-Catholic bigots? These Catholic threads you see where we are "attacking people on those threads", is it individuals that are being personally attacked or their beliefs that are being disputed? The former is wrong and isn't supposed to go on. The latter is just part of what an OPEN Religion Forum thread should expect. Debate and discussion is actually healthy as it solidifies ones beliefs and helps them to not only know what they believe but why they believe it. Scripture calls it "iron sharpening iron". The key is to not take things personally. For those who can't help but take disagreements of their faith personally, it's better that they skip these kinds of threads all together or at least until they develop a thicker skin.

I’ve sensed that old familiar murderous spirit behind some RC posts, especially by the more indoctrinated members. They have too much time, money, angst, and reputation invested to admit they’ve been ensnared so very long in a religious sect that bears every marker of a cult and don’t want to hear the Truth...not now.
