My problem is that it was clear he didn’t speak English as his native language.

Annie thank you very much for this kind (yes!) and fraternal defense, like that of Bithynian.

Unfortunately, there are those who conceive fraternal correction to the sound of “put people on the outer” and to invoke - TWICE! - the severe intervention of CAF.

Do you know what the problem must have been?

That “falso” in Italian and “false” in English are almost the same word and then a poor man believes that the nuances of meaning are also identical and, as I have already said, often the vocabulary does not help you.

In Italian “falso cattolico” certainly does not mean “I deny the validity of your Baptism” but patience, Annie, apparently insisting is useless, at this point I would not mind if the administrators closed the topic, it has now become counterproductive (we hope that in English is not an insult) 😉

I mean: De hoc satis 🙂
 
Or you, now knowing ’ false catholics ’ is not a thing, and is indeed putting people on the outer in English, could change the title and continue the discussion.

Yes using language in one way can put people on the outer. If I were to go to Palermo and use incorrect language I would hope for and expect correction.

I am trying to change the title, but I am not succeeding.

I cannot bring up the pencil, the icon of corrections: I suspect that, after a certain time has passed, it can no longer be corrected.

But if someone tells me how to do it, I do.
 
I think only patrons or regulars can, but thankyou for taking my words onboard.

In English, we call these “false friends.”

I imagine, given the trouble they cause, that you call them something stronger than “amici falsi”!
 
Respect protestants as people but do not respect their heretical religion. They are outside Christ’s Church. We must be charitable with them but we also need to be extremely cautious not to confirm in them their “church” has any right in God’s eyes to exist. The best way to achieve this is by witnessing to your true Catholic faith and living it. Do not go to church with them, by not doing so, you are witnessing that the Catholic Church, Christ’s Church, is not on equal footing. It is a hard job for us Catholics but we must be charitable but at same time, witness to the one true church.

Rather then calling them false catholic, why not be kind and help them with some answers.
Yes. Are there that many Catholics who are saints and obey all the rules?
I think the problem is not those Catholics who do not obey all the rules, but those Catholics who DENY the rules, who DENY the truths of the rules, and DENY the existence of the rules.
 
When the Germans entered France in 1870, people were more terrified than was reasonable.

In this climate, they asked Saint Bernadette if she was afraid and she replied: “I am not afraid of the Germans, I am afraid of lukewarm Catholics”.

I am not afraid of Muslims who respect our laws, I am afraid of Catholics who have not confessed for 15 years because “I have not killed anyone”.

I just wanted to give an idea after the previous post, I don’t want to create a topic in the topic, I know the rules 🙂

I agree. Muslims have already tried to take over Europe and were turned back at the gates of Vienna.
 
Catholics can be false Catholics if in fact they profess ideas that are not Catholic, in serious matters, especially if at the same time they say they are true Catholics.
There are only two types of Catholic - those in a state of grace and those in a state of mortal sin.
 
My comment you refer to is the fifth.

After that there were another 30, in which the objection that you now present has been thoroughly examined, and I too have rectified it, allowing and even better by asking that the title of the topic be changed.

You will read, among other things, that the problem is primarily linguistic, which is normal in CAF, where we all write in English, but the native languages of the participants are certainly more than 10.

🙂
