From a different perspective guess who looks like the *haters*? It’s those who call Protestant *heretics* and condemn them to hell for not submitting to Catholicism.
And there are certainly enough threads posted on almost a daily basis that could be considered *Protestant bashing*. All you have to do it is go look at the daily RF postings and see how the slightest infraction or imperfection in moral integrity by a non-Catholic is brought to everyone’s attention, but the Catholic ones are never posted about by the same poster.
Catholics cannot claim to be the martyrs here and claim victim status as they can dish it out with the best of them.
If you are perceiving the disagreement with Catholic theology and doctrine as *rage and hate* then you are projecting because no one can tell from the printed word the thoughts and emotions behind what is said. And pointing out doctrinal error by showing what Scripture said is neither *rage* nor *hate*. Presuming you know the motive and thoughts of the person making the comments is an assumption, plain and simple.
No *vitriol* has been expressed to your statements and for you to label them as *humble*, well ..... no comment. I guess I can say they don’t come across as humble as you seem to think.
I was referring to posts in the past, perhaps I wasn’t as precise as I could have been. It’s sometimes difficult to convey subtleties on a comments board.
VERY valid point on the “heretics”, though I see more anti-Catholic threads than the other way, I *do* still see both. Nearly daily. Not claiming victimhood, just observing. And doctrinal error is subject to interpretation and translation errors.
I personally have experienced the unbridled wrath of some posters that definitely went beyond the pale, hence the use of certain terms.
It’s nice to have a disagreement that remains civil. Thank you.
