I have never been told Catholics were evil, or anyone else for that matter, in church or at home; apparently you have been so taught, or have become bitter due to mistreatment by others. I have not mistreated you nor will I hate you.
But maybe you can learn something from me; if you truly believe your interpretation of things is the way... and you want, like any Christian, to go forth and make disciples of all nations... to tell the word of God’s mercy for the sinner and condemned... that you might want to consider an approach that won’t turn people off.
A sense of humor might help.
In fact in our services we refer to the One Holy and Apostolic Catholic church fairly frequently, so the term “catholic” has never been considered a bad thing.
You will find that I don’t participate in the Christian-bashing going on this site, by both “protestants” and “Roman Catholics,” because I suspect most of those doing it are trolls sent by the “community organizer” to set us at each other’s throats for his purposes, to divide and conquer. Some fall into the trap and follow their lead.
I will not.
I thank you for your frank and honest reply. I usually don’t descend to what others may term “baiting”. I had no intention of it today. But my indignation got the best of me. We disagree on some things obviously. But I would be happy to claim you as a sibling in the family of God.
In Christo, Pax.
