Who knows... Some of these people are positively obsessed about it. Then they get upset and even more prolific in their posts when it dawns on them that Catholics really don’t care about them or their complaint du jour.

HOGWASH.

It’s quite the contrary.

We Prottys will be cruising along quite comfortably in our own turf and sensibilities when some evidently bored RC edifice rep will post a thread brazenly poking Protties in the eyes—quite aggressively daring us to differ.

Sheesh.

Amen, Q. A fundamental difference between Catholics and Protestants is that Catholics don't feel compelled to preach the Gospel. Whereas Protestants are compelled because we read the word of God and realize that is exactly why we were put on earth, so that we may be named among those in Isaiah 61...

"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified." -- Isaiah 61:1-4

Isn't that a great phrase? "...that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord." It reminds me of Alamo-Girl's response when she says she's an encourager. What a blessed gift.

"And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters...

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. " -- Rev. 14:6-7,12
