Thank you.
I think you should pray about it. And maybe when you are older you will feel differently. i will certainly pray for you, that your hatred can be overcome by God’s grace.
I'm anti alot of things. I don't see the prob. I'm anti Apostolic Succession, Beatification of Saints, Transubstantiation, perpetual virginity of Mary, etc. etc. etc. Sorry. Easier to say anti-Catholicism.
I think your best bet would have been to conclude #37 at the word "brothel" with a full-stop, and withdraw from the thread.
Number 40 posits a distinction without a difference ... generally it's best (here's another opinion) to stop digging, when one is at the bottom of a hole.
And I'll pray about your intolerance of those who are anti-Catholicism.
When i am not necessarily in favor of something, i keep my opinion to myself and figure i won’t RAG ON someone else’s spiritual beliefs. i think it’s impolite as well as nasty and hateful and doesn’t show a Christian spirit. but that’s just me.
oh i tolerate you just fine, brother. i bear you not the slightest ill will. you are free to believe whatever you like. it’s a shame that you are so burdened by your hatred, and that’s why i am praying for you.
Here's another opinion. Come back from clever cleverland and try to understand.
I have nothing but love for you. Not hatred at all.
Here's an instruction for you: Come back from leftist slander land, and try not to bear false witness against your neighbor.
Not ragging on your beliefs at all. Just pointing them out and hoping someday your outlook becomes less narrow. You seem to be too sensitive.
well your behavior on the thread is unseemly and you should behave better if you are a loving person. you are anti-catholicism? fine, go for it. why would you come to a thread where people are of that faith, and rag on it? it’s at the very least poor manners. what do you hope to accomplish? you’re not winning any hearts and minds over to your way of thinking, if your intent is to proselytize. so all in all, you come off badly. you can do better.
Oh shucks we have disagreement. Imagine the odds. I believe it was very much an opinion.
Oh sorry. Didn't know the thread was "caucus". Do you only post on threads of the like minded and of your own faith? I have an idea for ya. Eschew me.
See which one better fits a sentence, such as "Come back from that place", which is made in the imperative.
your tactics are ineffective, if that is indeed your intent. i am not sensitive at all. i am secure in my faith, i have been a catholic since my baptism 53 years ago. my brother left the Catholic church to marry my sisterinlaw, he’s a Baptist now. we coexist in perfect Christian harmony. he doesn’t badmouth what he left behind, i don’t badmouth that to which he has turned. my husband and i have three children whom we have put through Catholic schools. My oldest, a college junior, attends an authentically catholic university. I have plenty of gripes with the happy slappy catholics who pick and choose what they want to believe. But the church is solid in it’s prolife stance and has done more than any other church, IMO, in promoting the sanctity of life. Bad apples in every bushel or faith. People are human, and no one is without sin.
i don’t post on the religion threads often enough to pay attention to caucus or whatever the designations are. i am talking to you, Christian to Christian, in an open and honest dialogue. obviously i can ignore you, if i choose, but i chose to engage you to better understand what your intent was with the nasty and insulting posting style. i will eschew you when i am good and ready.
I have no agenda.

I'm happy for ya. You're still sensitive. Your church isn't beyond tough love and criticism. I'm happy for your harmony.
Not a Christian. My intent is to offer a bit of humility to the openly arrogant. I've done a wonderful job, don't ya think?
no, sorry. you failed.
