"But be not Catholic, and your reception is anything but warm."

Christian virtues are faith, hope, charity, prudence, justice, restraint or temperance, and courage, but tolerance is not a Christian virtue. Tolerance is an important working principle, but it is not an end in and of itself. Tolerance means respecting people, but does not mean respecting errors.

Too often people expect the Church to do what they personally refuse to do; compromise and go along to get along. Tolerance of grave evil is itself evil and as Christians we are specifically called to reject error, both within ourselves and in others. Opposition to Catholic dogma, whether on issues of divorce, same sex marriage, contraception, Papal authority or abortion will not be tolerated.

Peace be to you

...tolerance is not a Christian virtue.

Nothing about tolerance was in the post you responded to.

Do you have a response to what the poster posted?

It was about Catholic being cold to Christians and treating them with an air of superiority.

I wonder if you came to Catholicism from being a Mormon, as they use a similar tactic, responding to something different that which was mentioned.

Will not be tolerated by whom? Sure looks like it's more than tolerated, it's overlooked, winked at - especially if you're a politician or heavy donor to the Catholic Church. When the Catholic Church actually starts putting teeth behind their barking threats, that's all it will be - barking.

How 'bout it.

Is the following TRUE or not?


John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

You are speaking of Catholics who are 'man' taught because born again Christians ARE The Church. A concept 'the worldly' cannot grasp.
