That's half the problem.
"Bah! Mercy! We don't need to steenkin' Mercy!"
The other half is a certain small and non-representative cadre of Protestants stirring up trouble.
Catholics, Protestants: very similar, somehow --- and not always in a good way.
This still somewhat stuns me, since I know a lot of Protestants AND Catholics in "real life," --- a LOT ---and NONE of them are like this. We seem to have a statistically anomalous concentration here at Freakin' Squeekin' Shriekin' Republic.
Could there be anything more uncharitable than Kasper's caricature of "mercy", which encourages those in sinful lifestyles to believe that Christ's teachings are optional?
