before you wade into waters that might be too deep...Of course, we Catholics are mindful that asking a Protestant to think deeply is like asking a fish to fly.

I was ready to comment on this, got distracted for a couple of hours, and came back to see that it had rubbed others the wrong way, too.

This constant belittling of Protestants, along with puffing up the credentials of Catholics and former Protestants, is getting really tiresome for several reasons. First, it comes across as incredibly arrogant - perhaps you should review the book of Proverbs to see how frequently humility is praised. Second, people who resort to personal insults usually have weak arguments and wish to intimidate the opposition into silence. Third, you personally haven't shown a superior spiritual understanding. Your posts are typically cut and post jobs with you personally adding little content. You really haven't shown that you are somehow "swimming in the deep end of the pool." Fourth, lavishing praiseful adjectives on someone to puff up their credentials does not make them some heavy-hitter in the theological world. Finally, it simply comes across as childish and unbecoming to someone who claims the name of Christ.
