I came late to this thread today. In short, I HATE the thread title!!! I can’t emphasize enough how disgusting it is and I reject any attempts to apologize for it. I don’t like it. As a Catholic, on behalf of many other Catholics, I apologize to my Protestant brothers and sisters in this room for this title and the tone of it. God bless you all!🤷

I was surely not apologizing for his thread, just trying to let others understand that people with certain conditions, especially if not treated will say and do things that are very inappropriate. Many of them get no help, as they can’t and sometimes won’t because they are incabable of seeking the proper help.

I don’t like any attacks being made against the Catholic Church or protestant churches either. I guess because I am involved with someone with the same illness that I understand more or less where the insensitivity and hatred comes from. It also makes me sad for those who do have mental illness, as it is not their choice and people close to them suffer very much.

God Bless

Hi Bernadette,

I’m definitely not referring to you by name, sister in Christ. I respect you, know your charity, and can appreciate what you say here about anti-Catholic attacks. I just hate seeing “Protestantism is pitiful!” it just bugs me, that’s all. Not the best thread title or way to bring Protestants to Catholicism!
Have a blessed day!
 
I only have two things to say:
  1. You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar.👍
  2. Treat others the way you wish others to treat you.😃
God bless us all, we all need wisdom and love and many prayers.:gopray:
 
Rebuke in love brother. At the end of the day it is the Holy Spirit who converts the hearts of men. all we can do is pray for those who do not know the truth, and also pray for ourselves that we do not backslide…

The Peace of the Lord be with you…
How true.
 
This has got to be the very worst post I have ever seen here. It seems to be common place that Protestants are ridiculed, harrassed and hated here for ever reason imaginable, but this whole post just stinks of intolerance and misinformation.

It is very evident to see that you do not stop to recognize the many different Protestant churches and it is equally evident that you don’t care. You spew your venom at everyone who isn’t Roman Catholic. It’s sad that you would even believe for one minute that you can create meaningful dialogue this way. Shame on you!:mad:
 
Explain how you reject it. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever BELIEVES in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. What does this verse mean to you.
Because right there it says anyone who believes SHOULD not perish. It does not say SHALL not, or WILL not, and the Douay-Rheims Bible has MAY not.
 
From time to time someone will say something that sticks with you…
I guess by the way this thread is going I need to clarify my comment in support of the statement…

I think that we all would be better evangelists if we actually “practice what we preach” whatever faith that may be.

Not to be uncharitable, but if you read the whole thread you would understand that the OP has a mental illness. He needs prayers, not condemnation. Of course there many on the boards who are Catholic that are against what he wrote.

I think CAF is one of the most understanding and caring forums I have seen. Try one of the protestants ones if you want venom. On these boards there will always be debate. Some people, Catholic, protestant, Orthodox or whatever can get too passionate and say things that are not Christian like. There is much meaningful dialogue on these boards and most Catholics here understand the difference between Baptists and Episcopalians.

You are not the only person who does not understand mental illness or maybe doesn’t care about it. I have no clue, I am assumming that you were not aware that he has problems just as others weren’t.

I am not agreeing with his posts, just feel that we really don’t understand where he is coming from. His post is not the typical posts I see on these forums.

May our Lord be with you.

Thank you for your kind words.​

As a ‘protestant’ I’m not offended by the OP or the title. If shows the ignorance not truth.​

Psalm 119:165

Dokimas,

I have been using the terms catholic christians and christians for a while, but some threads lately I have simply used the term protestant because it was in the opening post that way.

I don’t know if the term protestant is bothersome to all christians, because I know a few who do use it themselves. But, I never realized that not all do until thinking about it more and reading a few other sites.

I just want you to know, that if I use that term I do not mean offense at all. I like to keep it simple and just say christian in most conversations. I have to use definers like Catholic Christian because otherwise there would be confusion about what I am asking and who I am asking answers from.:o

I also have reservations about using the term christian for some groups that really don’t believe Christ is God, died and rose again. But, for now I still use that term for them also because I see nothing in the catholic church that prohibits the use of the term for those and am trying to learn christianity from catholics now.

Peace
 
Sorry I didn’t realize you could hear my voice. I think you are hearing your own thoughts and they sound like Mr. T.
Mr. T? If her own thoughts are saying, “I pity duh foow!” then we’re in trouble! Great A-Team reference! lol “I’m BA Barackus and I aint’ gettin’ on no plane!” LOL:thumbsup:

Let a Protestant come here and do what he did to Catholics and watch him or her get booted right the heck out of here.

That’s not true at all. I have seen countless Catholics here that believe that Protestants are Protestants and don’t even care if they aren’t.

You are not the only person who does not understand mental illness or maybe doesn’t care about it. I have no clue, I am assumming that you were not aware that he has problems just as others weren’t.
Don’t understand mental illness?? I have taken medication for clinical depression (mostly seasonal) for 10 years now. There have been times when i couldn’t even function in my employment. Your condescentment and what I would call borderline disrespect doesn’t sit well with me at all.

It’s not too far off if you ask me and other Protestants here.🙂
May our Lord be with you.

Sellers, it’s obvious from your previous posts that you have an axe to grind about Catholicism. That’s fine. But as you’ve seen from this thread there are Catholics here who have stood up against one of their own. So please lose the anger you hold.

There are a plethora of sites out in the www that are filled with dedicated anti-Catholic “Christians” & God forbid a Catholic goes there to try to explain what it is we believe & are instantly ganged up on, then instantly banned. I can think of 5 of these pathetic places off the top of my head. Imagine how many more there are out there.

It seems to me, at least, that you just look at the bad, instead of the good. There are wonderful people here from all spectrums, not just Catholics. Many of these people are regulars too. So if CAF is so horrible, why do these people stay? Why do you stay?

God Bless
 
Anti-Catholicism is, to me, no less distasteful than anti-Protestantism. I can be a Protestant (which, by the way, in the original defintion means “witness”) without being anti-Catholic; in fact, I am certain I am called to do so.

I agree. Would you say CAF (or maybe I should say just the Non-Catholic Religions forum) is geared toward being anti-Protestant? I do see a lot of threads where there is civil discussion from both sides. Of course there are the threads that are not charitable also. That’s life.

But to make out that all that goes on here is Protestant bashing is false, imo.
