Welcome home to both of you! I never understood why some feel the need either. When people come to my door, I tell them the truth: I respect the fact that they have the courage to do that. I really do. Those poor people must get so mistreated sometimes. I mention that I do wish that they would eliminate the anti-Catholicism in their literature. Proclaim your faith: but one’s faith should not depend on finding fault with another’s. With one exception, I can honestly say I never had a problem- and I say up front that I’m a Catholic. It’s just a matter of mutual respect for one another as people.
“Proclaim your faith: but one’s faith should not depend on finding fault with another’s”
These are wise words indeed. Especially during Holy Week.
It would be much more beneficial for all to see people explaining disagreement, yet seeing the unity in Christ. The vile and mocking comments speak more to the spiritual darkness of a person than the target of their tantrum.
