What is the purpose of the Non-Catholic Religion section of the forum?

[why_me]

I’m sorry, but if anyone is being persecuted, it’s the non LDS posters over at MAD. They are the one’s who should be asking for the board to be shut down.

If you have a problem with that board, go over there and talk about it. That is what I am doing here. On this section of the board, non-catholic faiths can be bashed, especially if the catholic posters establish that the faiths bashed are not ‘christian’. It is not just the lds faith, I have seen the JW’s run the ringer, the SDA’s also with some protestant sects too.

You’re becoming the antithesis in the dialectic.

Synthesize!

Do you remember your first posts? They were not the most respectful toward a certain personality. But you changed and that says a lot about you. Now…for the other more judgemental catholics, well, they need to go to confession and confess their behavior on this forum. They all should know better.

That’s interesting. Yes, people do change over time unless they are stagnant. Personally I’ve grown quite a bit. But I still have a sense of animosity towards the group that proselytized me in my younger years. That group sounds extreme to me now. But as my return to Catholicism causes spiritual growth I find my initial posts to be somewhat different to now.

As far as telling a Catholic they need to go to confession, that’s just pushing the envelope. Many may not realize that the more extreme bahaviors from Catholics here seems to be caused from past history with proselytizing non-Catholics…expecially fundamentalists. But that is no excuse for poor behavior - just a way of extending a charitable hand to struggling Catholics …and non-Catholics for that matter. It is a Catholic board that many seem to be trying to pick fights to learn how to defend a position. If you really want to learn about Catholicism, you can go to the Catechism. There are many sources available online that are really good, just stay away from sights that are heretical. So how do you find that out…places like here. It seems that asking a question opens the door for dialogue. Some go too far the way they state their threads…gives the impression that we sit around and think of new ways to insult other people in other faiths. We do hold to the beleif that the Catholic Church holds the fullness of the truth in Christ and should evengelize, but that evangelization requires first living a transformed life. But a bulk of non-transformed lives does not constitute a heretical Church. People sin, and you’re right that we should take it up in the confessional. But culpability is at play as well.

Talk about it, so they can get ranted at by moderators letting them know its an LDS board, why bother.

Catholics are bashed on that board but even more so Evangelicals not to mention Baptists.
That board is no different than this and has the same range of posters. But of course LDS are sooo much more tolerant, accepting , understanding etc that if they do to say anything negative it’s because someone said something to upset them. The world is just filled with anti Mormons.

At least here on this board the mods don’t publicly admonish or threaten posters .

Do you even remember your original post? Suggesting that this section of the board be “shut down”. I haven’t seen you asking anything like that over at mad…why not? Can’t get the persecution factor to work for you over there?

Bashing? I think the LDS have that corner of the market well covered. I think the links I have posted provided excellent proof of the LDS bashing Catholics, and the moderators over there getting their internet feelings hurt, going on tirades, and showing their true “christian” colors.

As far as other faiths being bashed, I think you might want to check out MAD, Carm, and a few other boards while you’re at it. Most, if not all faiths are treated far better here than on other boards.

My thread about the Catholic Answers letter that stated that Mormonism is a threat got a pretty good discussion going over there. And in the end, that is what it is all about. To discuss and talk about why such a letter was written and get opinions about it. Much can be accomplished through talk and dialogue. Or should the two faiths bash each other over the head?

Want to talk about bashing? Do you even read what you post? I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. You have a history of making statements, or starting threads (like this one) just to get people wound up, and then you sit there and say they’re “bashing” lds.

But I have noticed over at mad, you dont paint yourself so much of a Catholic over there, like you have over here. What’s up with that?

 

[twopekinguys]

No, his ‘crime’ was that he was insinuating that the lds church is responsible for what happened in Texas or anywhere else where such sects as the FLDS are established. The lds church can do nothing about what is happening in that sect except preach against it and it is doing that.

why me;:

So let’s see. Just so I get the rules over there at mad correct, insinuating anything about the lds is bad, but direct Catholic bashing is ok. Did I get that right?

You know, you really can’t have it both ways. But hey, if that works for you, so be it.

Frankly, I don’t mind Catholic bashing, i.e., persecution. I believe Our Lord warned us to expect it. It’s actually a privilege to be persecuted for the Catholic faith. So why snivel about it, unless you have a problem with self-love.

As far as dialogue goes, it is essentially useless if the truth is left a vagrant, as it often is. “Feelings” become paramount, and the truth is never stated. Teach the truth at all costs.
