We Catholics must therefore, with patience and love, correct their errors and overcome their doubts. This must be done with objective facts, respect, and the example of beatitude.

I wonder what makes you think that these folks WANT to be corrected and that theirs ARE errors. They actually have NO doubts as to THEIR faith.
Respect, etc., are nice but I don't assume to correct people who don't WANT correcting because THEY don't think that they are in error.

Change has to come from WITHIN. People will change only when it hurts more NOT to.

Thank you.

I have more concern for those who remain indifferent than those who are passionate but wrong or incomplete in their faith. We are all to varying degrees earthen vessels. Even the most pious among us are on a life long conversion to holiness and all will fall short. I really believe that those who spend so much of their time in the Religion Forum, even if to abuse the Church and Catholics, are responding to a call from God that puts them in a place to be exposed to His truth. We who believe have a similar call to evangelize and forgive.

“I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” - Luke 5:32
