I’m just objecting to the way certain Protestants on FR seem to revel in posting news items that puts the Catholic Church in a bad light.

I don't blame you...If my religion had as many skeletons in the closet as yours does, I wouldn't want people shining a searchlight on it either...

Alex, stop it...

You know Iscool, just last February I was asked if I would censor the news for Lent...

You know what? Humans are sinful, including Catholics and Protestants alike -- all suffer from the effects of original sin. Alex Murphy is not helpfully pointing out anything that is not pointed out by Catholics and the secular media ad infinitum, but is in uncharitable bad faith pointing out the mote in his brother's eye while ignoring the beam in his own. I am not calling for censorship of anyone. I just am questioning Mr. Murphy's motivation and sincerity. He obviously is not charitable and tolerant toward other Christians, but merely gets a thrill out of mudslinging and negative propaganda. Protestants have committed countless sins, and with their doctrine of private judgment have split the body of Christ into countless sects and have basically allowed the mainstream of Protestantism to be highjacked by non-Christian leftwing believers. I certainly as a Catholic could post a thread on every negative Protestant development, but frankly it does not seem charitable and seems a waste of time. Unlike Mr. Murphy, it would seem, I have better things to do with my time.
