Why? Because you’re questioned? It’s bashing when you ask a simple question?

No, it's bashing when you see the same incendiary threads hashing the same stuff year after year with its sole intention to create a s**tstorm. You're not going to convince Catholics to see the error of their ways and you sure ain't going to convert.

My questions are not designed to convert. My questions are simply seeking information. True I could use internet searches but dialog is so much better. Unfortunately it devolves into ‘incendiary’ replies which I find sad.

You commanded, “You’re not going to convince Catholics to see the error of their ways ...” If the freepmails were not private I would let you read how wrong you are. Alas, you’ll have to settle for the testimonies of prior Catholics who have subsequently been born from above and KNOW they are imbued with The Holy Spirit of God ... according to His Promise. You see, what makes a true saint in Heaven is a human who believed God and it is counted for him righteousness. Sainthood is by God’s Promises, not man’s declarations from the magicsteeringthem.

You're not going to convince Catholics to see the error of their ways and you sure ain't going to convert.

Your assurance is astounding; but the first part of your sentence is revealing.
