Yes, that was the conclusion I came to, Catholics don’t know what to say about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Then you defame millions of Catholics.

> Then you defame millions of Catholics.

Mate, I am convinced that he is being offensive on purpose, for reasons known only to him. Possibly for attention, possibly because there are no cartoons for him to watch, and just possibly to be obnoxious: like the teenage brat who thinks it’s fun to gobble down a large tin of baked beans and fart loudly in a crowded elevator, all day.

If the latter — and I suspect it is that — nothing less than a cork jammed in a strategic place will make him stop.

Whatever you do, don’t light-up, or he stands the risk of becoming The Human Bottle Rocket — then he’ll get lots of attention indeed, which is the other thing he probably craves.

That would be fun for a while — until he upsets enough people to get Zotted. Which raises another possible explanation: perhaps he is a Troll.

One way or another he is proving himself to be a tiresome bore and I don’t intend reading his Catholic-bashing drivel anymore.

In life there is nothing so droll as one whose sole ambition is to strive to be a Bore.

It may be free speech but it offends even me. And I ain’t even a Catholic. So I am going to exercise my right to ignore anything further from him, and rejoice in the good news that was otherwise communicated in by this thread.

I am simply putting out a challenge to Catholics themselves. Whereas over my 52 years, many people, I’m sure concerned about my soul (for which I have been grateful) have handed me a piece of literature, and/or deliberately approached me hoping to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to me, not one has been a member of the Roman Catholic Church.

If a Roman Catholic adherent, therefore, uses the phrase, “Gospel of Jesus Christ,” I am curious about the definition a Roman Catholic might give me.

Why would a Roman Catholic ever be upset about a non-Catholic insisting on some precise definition. Can any Roman Catholic define the “Gospel of Jesus Christ” to me in, say, half a page?

(JL) “Yes, that was the conclusion I came to, Catholics don’t know what to say about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. “

(Pyro7480) “Then you defame millions of Catholics.”


Stating from my observation and experience (that no Roman Catholic has ever taken the time to approach me personally to tell me how to be saved from sin and enjoy God and go to Heaven), that Roman Catholics don’t know what to say about the Gospel of Jesus Christ is DEFAMATION ????? Defamation of what?
