So I see another RC is back posting more provocative propaganda - to be exposed as such. And it seems refuting such compels certain RCs to react by posting more.

I get the impression the originator is bored and itching for a skirmish rather than earning an indulgence. I was going through my "Favorites" list and found quite a few articles I could post if I wanted to do the same back at them. One in particular is "Explaining the Heresy of the Catholic Mass". Maybe I should post a thread on it. What do you think? There's already enough negativity out there, I'm reluctant to intentionally provoke people, though. Others don't seem to worry about that it seems.

On the other hand, we non/former-Catholics are more than willing to give a reason for the hope that is within us and defend why we may disagree with Catholicism. We don't do it to be hateful or anti-Catholic - unlike the motivations of some here I suspect - but to give a defense of our faith with gentleness and respect and, if possible, as much as lieth in us, to live peaceably with all. If they want to presume because they can match words or phrases of Scripture to their own liturgy it somehow proves their church is superior to all others, then I disagree. This isn't the first time this claim has been made on this forum - I doubt it will be the last either.

Mixing and matching fragments of Scripture verses, misquoted and misapplied, to English phrases does not equate to Scriptural support for something.

That might get pulled but indeed it is.
