I've always been Catholic.
"It was about Catholic being cold to Christians and treating them with an air of superiority."
I did respond that we are warm to individuals, but will not compromise Catholic teaching for the sake of diversity of opinion or tolerance of error. To expect the Church to no be Catholic is a fools errand.
Peace be with you
"It was about Catholic being cold to Christians and treating them with an air of superiority."No you didn't.I did respond that we are warm to individuals.
Just for clarity, here is your post. I don't see the warmth.
"But be not Catholic, and your reception is anything but warm."All I see is a response not related to the post you were replying to.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
