This Holy Week I was amazed to see so much hate hurled at Catholics on FR. It was why I joined up. Some of you know I am leaving the Episcopal Church and looking for a home. After this Triduum of reading on FR I am much closer to the Roman Catholic Church than ever before. The attacks on the Catholic Church from some posters have seemed demonic to me -- even though they quote the bible at length. I want to thank each Catholic freeper who has reached out to me with kindness and encouragement. And I thank you all for the posts on FR that I have read for some time now, long before becoming a member. You all are a living testimony to what is true and loving about Jesus' Church, and you are like a living online catechism class. I have learned and am learning alot. Although I was raised as an Anglo-Catholic Episcopalian with rosary in hand -- I am overjoyed to find the fulness of what was only hinted at in my childhood. God bless you all.

Some of them certainly are scary they are so filled with hatred!

As a convert myself I invite you to come on over. You won't be sorry.

Where there is persecution, there is Christ's true Church. For we are part of the body and will be part of that hate and ridicule and persecution that Christ Himself had to endure. Praise be to Him Who was, Who is and Who is to come! All glory and praise and honor and blessing to Jesus the Lord.

It makes no sense. All conservatives should be thankful for the Catholic Church no matter what doctrinal disputes they have with it. From Pope Leo XXIII to the current Pope, the Holy See has been solid in its fight against communism. Reading Pope XIII is chilling. He predicated a Lenin would arise over 30 years before the Russian Revolution.

I'm an antitrinitarian. If I can put aside disputes about dogma, anyone should be able to.

Btw...good screen name. I only ran across the Oxford Movement this week while reading about Unitarians. TS Eliot, who became an Anglo-Catholic, mother was a progressive Unitarian active in the Temperance movement. His father was a Unitarian minister. Talk about not following in the faith...
