I din’t really know that these boards existed.

I thought it might help to get some Catholics to come aware of this forum,

p098.ezboard.com/bxcatholic

There is a lot of anti-Catholic forums out there.
Question is there any forums where Catholics stand around bashing prodestants or other churches??

I see that Karl Keating gets singled out for abuse. :rolleyes:

I don’t mind being bashed for being a Catholic. It’s a badge of honor.

Mat 5:10 "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:11 "Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
Mat 5:12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
 
I agree. The biggest problem I have with these kinds of sites is the mockery of our Lord in the Eucharist. I think being verbally abused and banned in His name is the least I can do.

Evanescence,

If we are not VERY careful, the Catholic Answers Forums could start answering to that description.

Liberian,
I don’t think CA will ever go down that path. I believe that, as a group, those of us who are RCs are a patient group of people. Sure, we have a number of zealots within the Church like many of the other protestant denominations; however, it is our nature to be a learning/thinking group of people. I believe that is evidenced by the large number of Catholic universities in the world as well as Church’s desire to dig deeper within the doctrines we have in order to understand them better (ala Pope Pius XII on the assumption). By being a group of people who want to learn, we are open to hearing what others believe. It can be as profitable to us to learn what not to do in our lives. These fly by night forums that bash Catholics, Cutting Edge Ministries and others of their ilk only reinforce the beliefs that we hold dear, imho.

Have you heard Scott Hahn’s interpretation of that?
 
I looked around in there - what a sad place.
I looked at their mission; “To urge Roman Catholics to renounce their faith…”
I felt threatened and unclean just looking around. 😦

I haven’t, but I’m always interested in what Scott Hahn has to say about things.

Is it in a book or on tape or can you give us a “Reader’s Digest” version? 🙂

And the mockery of his Mother, along with any of the greatest people in Catholicism, like Mother Theresa.

According to the LDS posters and Orthodox posters, it is right here on Catholic Answers on non catholic religions. Catholics here are constatny being accused by the LDS and Orthodox of bashing. And the Catholics accuse the Catholics as well of bashing Protestants. My, aren’t we a contentious bunch.

ewtn.com/vondemand/audio/seriessearchprog.asp?seriesID=-306548622&T1= You can hear him, who will do it much more justice than I, explain it in the episode called Gospels 2 (I think! It’s in the second half, and if I’m wrong it’s Gospels 2. The entire series is absolutely fantastic so I’d recommend them all).

The reader’s digest version is this:

Throughout the gospels, the Pharisees keep trying to trap Jesus. They keep trying to show He is against the Law of Moses or get Him into trouble in some way. When they bring the adulterous woman to Him, they are trying to trap Him. You see, the Romans did not allow the Jews to enforce capital punishment. So, the Pharisees laid quite a trap. They come and say to Him, oh great teacher, this woman commited adultery, and the Law says we must stone her, what shall we do? If He says don’t stone her, He will be breaking the Law of Moses and showing that He is not really from God. If He says go ahead and stone her, they can run to the Romans and say, “This man has told us to break the Roman law and put a woman to death,” and He would have been arrested or executed. So Jesus is in quite a position! Now you have to understand somethine about the Pharisees. You probably already do, to a point. Throughout the Gospels, the Pharisees act like they are perfect and can do no wrong. What you may not know is that the Pharisees didn’t just act that way, but they really believed that by merit of their high religious stature they were really and truly sinless. This is the key. When Jesus says to them “let he who is without sin cast the first stone,” he is both at the same time endorsing the Law (to the Pharisees), and denying the Law (the Romans wouldn’t think this means go ahead and stone her). So the Pharisees suddenly realize that he is endorsing the law, but then they realize that they’re the ones “without sin!” They don’t want anything to do with this, because if they go casting stones they’re going to get executed. They suddenly realize that Jesus has them caught in their own trap and go away.

He explains it better and clears up a few minor discrepencies my version may have.
 
Sorry, nothing is as bad as the loonies at former Catholics For Christ.But you folks have to admit there IS some nastiness here shown towards Protestants and LDSers.
 
I generally notice that when there is others apologize for and rebuke the individuals.
 
Now do they allow you to post without too much interference from the moderators?

I was posting on bibleforums trying to be the most charitable as possible. I can’t compromise truth and had to mention some things about the Catholic faith and anything Catholic was edited out of my posts to make a whole different meaning of my posts.

So how is this board? Or do you suggest another one?

I’ve noticed that too. We do tend to call someone on bashing. THis is an apologetics forum, so sometimes debate can be heated but I think that for the most part we remember not to cross the line into hatred or anger. Now and then we all need a little reminder to be nice.
 
I am a member in one forum of former catholics. I am there to see to it that when they attack the church someone will at least defend even i am not fully educated on theology but at least i know the fundamental teachings of the CC.

I don’t attack protestantism nor say badwords to them (like what they do to us).

Let’s pray for them for they separated to us without knowing the real teachings of the church.

Well, maybe that’s because they were bashing Protestants. The Catholic Church is the one holy catholic and apostolic church, and so we have no need to bash anybody to try to force our incorrect claims on them! Charity will work much better (as our claims are indeed correct).

Lets just hope that would never happen! :tsktsk: And I’m sure the moderators and the admins are doing their best to prevent this site into turning into a site like that!
There is several anti-catholic sites that bash Catholics all the time! like as if they have nothing better to do! 😦

Its sad really seeing christianity fight like this! 😦 As God’s people we all should set a better example, if I was a non christian and saw that site, i would probebly lose interest in christianity cause my impression would be that christians are nasty people who just complain and argue all the time, honestly the things these people say are totally not christian like at all!
