It sure won’t be me. I was telling my wife this morning on the way home from Mass that I’d never go into a non-Catholic church because they don’t have the Eucharist and that miracle is too beautiful to live without. Been to non-denoms too…even more confused than all the rest…and nobody is in authority…nobody looks farther back than the so-called Reformation, and none of them can all agree on what the Word of God says. That’s just the way it is outside the church. I “did my time” there… (34 years) no way I’m ever going back.
I agree with everything except the last statement.We do not “fear” protestants
We do however get tired of the vicious attacks.Is it because we can’t defend them,no and we do.These certain posters(not all and not the majority) will call names insult things Holy and it gets old.So fear nope.frustration read some of the posts and you decide.God Bless
Hi Lisa,See I knew you loved us.Perfect love casts out all fear.I agree with everything except the last statement.We do not “fear” protestants
God Bless
Yes that does seem to be a problem here. Sincere questions by Protestants are often met with snappy, defensive comments by Protestant-bashed weary Catholics. Maybe it’s that you’re so used to defending yourselves, that every Protestant with a question, yes, even the saaammmmeee ol’ questions, (Ya’ll worship Mary, dontcha?) is being attacked and ripped apart.
You know, I’ve never heard that put quite so simply before… THERE. This is a good reason for Protestants to post here. It presents us with the opportunity to undersand each other and that which seperates us and that which joins us. And perhaps the opportunity to reconcile.
That caught my attention Curious!
You can “not believe” all you want to. Fact of the matter is that many non-Catholics do come here to learn. I know some of 'em. And I say more power to 'em! Would it be better for them to stay somewhere where they get misinfirmation at best or lies at worst??? Or maybe should we just tolerate 'em coming here so they might be exposed to some accuracy?I do not believe that a nonCatholic comes here to gain knowledge, but rather it is the reverse.
Sounds to me like you are just prejudiced. There is no better place to go to find out about somthing than the source. I want to know more about the catholic belief system because my brother is marrying a catholic. I would like to understand her beliefs. I can’t really understand where she is coming from unless I know what she believes. Try not to be so judgemental. I’m sure some are here only to try and convert you, but some of us just want to learn. I am not here to convert, or be converted.I do not believe that a nonCatholic comes here to gain knowledge, but rather it is the reverse.
I’m not a Catholic, and, according to many, not even a Christian, but I come here because (1) the threads are often of better quality than that found on beliefnet’s Catholic or Christian threads; and (2) I’m trying to understand my fascination with the Catholic faith. Regarding number 2, I’ve always felt that I was probably Catholic or Orthodox in a past life, and I admire the Catholic mystical and contemplative traditions. I don’t agree with much of Catholic dogma, so joining the Church is out of the question, but I am sympathetic to Catholicism, and I see it as one of the more comprehensive and rich spiritual traditions of the world.I found Catholic Answers because I am Catholic abd was looking for a Catholic Forum. I have been here 4 to 5 months.
I have noticed a number of Protestants and yes, even atheists are frequent posters. A few of them pose as Catholics for a while, that is until their emotions cause them to reveal themselves.
Is CA the best Catholic/Christian forum? What is the motive of a Protestant to come here and belittle Catholocism? I do not believe that a nonCatholic comes here to gain knowledge, but rather it is the reverse.
Budda died, and never got back up again, Jesus died and arose three days later, Jesus has power over death, Budda doesn’t.
