Come on mate. Yeah, there are plenty of Catholic bashers about, like there are plenty of protestant bashers, creationists vs evolutionists etc, but you are hunting the wrong trail this time.
Quix asks questions and is great fun to talk to and debate our differences with. We have discussed differences many times, both in thread and in mails and he is never impolite. Be warned though, he’ll tie you into knots if you chose one wrong word!
Sorry for butting in, but I hate to see a good person maligned.
Thanks for your kind, discerning and perceptive reply.
I don’t really plan a return to past . . . festivities . . . though if some turn ruthless enough, I might reconsider.
I merely wanted to caution the fiercer RC’s that this was not a wise or good thread on which to trash with old hostilities.
If I can be on my better behavior . . . most anyone should be able to be so.
And the cause is well worth every bit of kind, thoughtful and polite conciliatory cooperativeness we can all muster.
imho.
God’s best to you, Bro. You are a treasure.

My sincere apologies to Quix. Indeed, my post 42 might be read as if calling Quix personally a “Protestant charlatan”. My meaning was that Protestantism as a whole is invented by charlatans such as Luther and Calvin, and crowned whoring weasels like Henry VIII: it does not have a solid biblical and theological foundation. The Protestants today simply follow the myths the Protestant culture inculcated in them and cannot be called charlatans. Further, rather than calling them names, they should be debated, and defeated, on the Holy Scripture alone, every time they advance their theological fantasies.
Outside of the realm of theology, furthermore, the field of cooperation between the Chrisitan confessions in the struggle against the non-Christian world has never been wider, and such cooperation is welcome.
