Personally, it doesn't bother me if, during an intellectual debate, disparaging, historical quotes are brought up about the Church. If it's part of a conversation, fine, let's debate it. But using it as pure invective is offensive. I don't go around posting that the church of Calvinism is worthless and hellbound. I find that the loudest Protestant critics of the Catholic faith spend all their energy trying to prove the Church wrong and none of it on proving themselves right.

Typically - typically - it's ex-Catholics who need to feel more secure in their decision to leave the Church by returning in the night to burn it down.

Maybe you don’t, but many of your friends do.
