That is the opposite of my experience, but then again, I am in communion with the Church. I have not tried to impose a morality and theology subject to my own experience and reason on the Church.
Peace be with you
It's the old boys club thing.
I've been on the RF long enough to have seen many people say the same thing about Catholics. Of course it would be the opposite from a Catholic who agrees with them.
But be not Catholic, and your reception is anything but warm.
Old boys club Catholics have no idea what it's like to be on the *outside*. The warm and welcoming is only for each other, not the heretics.
