I will make you my intention on my very next Rosary late tonight / early tomorrow morning.
If the way non-Catholics are addressed on this forum is an example of *Catholic love*, praying a Mt Everest of rosaries will not change anyone's heart.
Catholics would make better headway by changing their behavior and the way they talk to *outsiders* (aka or referred to as: *heretics*, *anti's*, and *bigots*) beginning with their condescending attitude towards such as exhibited in your post.
And we should be praying a genuine, original, non-repetitive prayer directly to God for him to call out his elect from the cult of Roman Catholicism.
That would be far superior love in my opinion because it would be love provided to us by The Lord instead of a man-made edifice known as Catholic Church.

Indeed, “love-bombing” is a tactic of cults, and I have experienced it first hand. It matters not how wildly against Scripture their doctrine is, they understand how people can be moved to a new way of thinking by experiencing an outpouring of personal attention.
That, of course, is only a substitute for true love. Love does not parade itself. It simply acts in the best interest of the one loved. There is a reason Jesus told us, for example, to not advertise our good works. Telling someone you love them and will pray for them is easy. It’s just words. Steadfastly telling them the hard truth that they are lost and need Jesus to save them, not church nor ritual nor works of the flesh? That’s much harder. Not a good way to be popular, at all. But it is the right thing to do, and it is in the best interests of the one so loved. Truth-bombing is far closer to love than anything anyone can do with a useless string of beads.
Peace,

Some of them sure seem to have a lot of hatred for Protestants. They need to pray for themselves to have a cleaner heart. How are you?
