“You miss the point.

Some at FR truly REVEL in the sins of any Catholic and behave as if such sin is proof of the glory of Protestantism (while pretending the same sins don’t abound among Protestants and Protestant clergy).

Cronos posts these stories so that these Protestant-and-in-denial FReepers might see the folly of their imperious attitude.

Thanks for playing along.”

So, what is the point again? I missed it within the message somehow. I just thought Cronos was putting down Christianity...oh, he was...but, that is to lift up Catholic Christianity? I don’t think so...I do empathize and dislike when some denigrate the Catholic faith for the bad deeds of a few individuals...they do not understand the relationship between good and evil and evil’s temptation on all of us, but especially with those whom love Jesus and have strong faith. But, we must learn that we are not each others adversaries, we are all Christians sharing in our faith and love for Jesus Christ. The temptation to denigrate others of our faith is really similar to the temptation of actually doing the sin we are denigrating someone else about.

and that is good on your part. For my part I do separate the individuals who sin from the teachings of Christ -- as flawed creatures, their sin, our sin, bears no reflection on the creator who is perfect.
