And sometimes when someone sees someone else drowning they'll throw them a life preserver because they care about their fellow man.

Because life preservers always come with gratuitous insults, are aimed right at the drowning person's only handhold, and scrupulously adhere to the throwers "native language" as opposed to the person they are ostensibly "saving."

The Protestant penchant for self-congratulation knows no bounds.

You mean like Catholics telling Protestants they wouldn't have a Bible if it weren't for Catholics? That kind of self-congradulation?

I have not seen any Protestant self congratulations. I sure see a lot of Catholics doing that.
