Truth hurts, and I can understand that. The elements of what constituted the Church for the last 2,000 years is lacking in Protestant/Baptist communities. Unfortunately, for the last 40 or so years of ecumnism they have gotten accustomed to being "included" in this syncretistic falsehood that took over the western world and a sad but obvious "protestantization" of the Catholic Church for some time after the Vatican II.

Oh my!

This kind of "warm, welcoming, we care about you and your salvation" post should definitely bring the whole Protestant/Baptist communities flocking back to the Catholic Church quickly.

Is this really how you wish for Catholics to present themselves to Protestants/Baptists?

Could you define for me what you feel will be the result if these Protestant/Baptist communities fail to "return to" the Catholic Church?

I have noticed that many Catholic's and Catholic churches are very arrogant in the fact that they do very little evangelical work in the community.

I have yet to have a Catholic ask about my spiritual health, invite me to mass or learn about what their church stands.

Over the years Catholics have gotten their butts burned by Protestants and with this current group in Rome do not see that changing.

I think that many Catholic leaders have forgotten the bible verse that states “Where Two or more or three are gathered in my name, I am there”.
