“Well why wouldn’t they when they have such shining Catholic exemplars hurling abuse at them in a constant barrage?”
Constant barrage? Legatus I barely post at FR anymore. Yesterday I posted a total of 9 posts to a total of 4 people. You characterize that as a barrage? How is 9 posts in 24 hours a barrage or constant? You posted 5 posts yesterday and all but one was primarily addressed to me. So you posted twice as much to me as I posted to you. Again, “constant barrage”?
And by the way, do you believe for a single second, that the anti-Catholics here will actually stop hating the Catholic faith by you agreeing with them that they’re right to hate it? You actually told them that the CCC was wrong. Notice how they were patting you on the back for agreeing with them? And yet you wrote a post about “treating fellow freepers like things or opportunities to stroke their own egos”? Kettle. Pot.
“What does that kind of Catholicism have to offer ANYBODY?”
TRUTH. Legatus, do you believe in truth? Seriously, do you?
So you admit it's abuse?

But that's not the point is it, it's about intellectual and spiritual integrity.
I didn't post that CCC841 was wrong to treat fellow freepers like things or stroke my own ego, I wrote it because I believe I am correct.
TRUTH. Legatus, do you believe in truth? Seriously, do you?
Don't you know what the answer to this one is?
"If I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
"Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely; is not puffed up; Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never falleth away: whether prophecies shall be made void, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge shall be destroyed."
