If Catholics are Christians why do you make such a big deal about your Catholicism? As thankful as you are for being “led by the Spirit there” and all...
Take for example my identity is in Christ, my Baptism is in Christ, Ive died in Christ, etc. The Catholic church cant do any of those things for you...whats your hang up with Christianity?

Nobody made a big deal about Catholicism until the notion was advanced that a Catholic was out-of-bounds for offering a Christian defence of Hallowe’en from a Catholic point of view.

Excellent question - Catholicism is universal Christianity, and it is the Church in which the fullness of Christian truth subsists. I'm free from the pitfalls of private interpretation of scripture, I'm guided by 2000 years of consistent teachings on faith and morals, and most of all, I have the privilege of receiving Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Why wouldn't I be thankful for being guided into the fullness of truth? I suspect anyone would be! One who's identity is fully shaped by Catholicism is also fully shaped by Jesus Christ. Thus, when a Catholic Christian identifies himself as a Catholic Christian, and fully accepts what the Church teaches about itself, then that person has identified fully with Christ. I have no hangup with Christianity. I'm a Christian. What's your hangup with Catholics claiming to be Christians?
