I never cared for Southern Baptists Holier Than Thou attitude. And their seeming need to control the lives of all in the communities in which they live.

Sorry....didnt know I was controlling you. Like I said, I will now stop my persecution of whatever you are... So that I may not control you. Or something to that effect.

(try not listening to the stereotypes on the Simpsons of what a Southern Baptist is like... It may suprise you.)

You are persecuting me in any way, shape, or form and you are free to say anything you please. I am very hard to offend. Darn near impossible.

Catholics who think the issue through will realize that Southern Baptists are in many vital ways, our brothers and sisters in Christ.

That is not to minimize important differences.

The history of the Baptist Church in the United States, even at times of greatest distrust between Baptists and Catholics, has never suggested a desire of Baptists to control us Catholics. Rather, your church has been a pillar of religious liberty, as I understand it. Today, your church stands consistently and courageously for that which is moral in the public square in humble obedience to our Lord and Savior.

Catholics need to recognize and respect the Godliness of your church, whaever our differences as to worship or belief. We agree on MANY MORE POINTS than those upon which we disagree.

God bless you and yours.
