| I think it's a bit of xenophobia on both sides. I personally am Catholic and don't quite understand what alot of protestants do to worship. Like those Worship music compilation commercials they show on TV scare the crap out of me.  Are those people entranced by Michael W Smith tunes? Then on the other hand people think we worship Mary and sit stand and kneel too much.
We're all trying to get to Heaven. We just may live in different subdivisions there. It's all good. |

DINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDING!!!!!!!!!!!
Ten points for Jim!
I am not "distressed" or taking this personally. And, at this point, I no longer have time for this discussion, because I have bigger fish to fry due to the MySpace of one of my kids saying he's gonna kill himself. So, I'll take my flawed, untrue religion and try to help him the best I can. Oh well.
Think what you wanna think at this point, guys.
I don't see how I'm the one using harsh tactics, when you two were the ones to make the statement of your church being the only true church, in the first place.
But whatever.
I'm stepping out before I get branded the bad guy again, just for discussing and trying to understand. |

Did you know the word Catholic means "christian"? So in all actuality, that means all churches are "catholic" if they believe and follow Jesus.

Actually Catholic translates to "universal". I guess that was already pointed out.
Here, I'll go over here and shut up now. |

| You know what? I'm about to "bow out" of this board altogether at this point. Some of you are really being rude and callous to me, and not just on this thread. I'm tired of always being accused of being too sensitive on here, when it seems like nobody is taking a look at anything anybody else is posting, and holding them accountable for it.
Yes, sometimes people are too sensitive, and sometimes I'm too sensitive.......but sometimes people are also just plain rude and disrespectful and it shouldn't be allowed. If I'm going to always be slapped on the hand for being too sensitive every time I speak my mind, then I will go elsewhere, which is sad, because I've been here for ten years.
And yes, I am taking it personally. If you try and tell me that my church isn't part of the "true church", then yes, I take that personally. It was a hateful, devisive statement to begin with, which is why I challenged it.
I understand that you guys are trying to be gracious and inclusive to people who are new believers and/or spiritually immature, but my gosh you seem to be letting the hate and callous statements to go a bit far in my opinion, not just on this thread. Certain people are allowed to completely discredit positive testimonies that other people post, just stomping all over whoever they want, and nothing is said to them.
But if I'm too sensitive - then that's somehow a bad thing.
But you know what? I'd MUCH rather be too sensitive than too callous.
And you know what? I'm starting to not feel welcome here at this board, at ALL.
And with that - I'm done. |

| Please point out the rudeness, and let there be moderators to confirm it. As far as that comment on the other thread, it was kind of tongue-n-cheek, I was attempting to lighten the mood of that thread w/my good ol' sarcasm, though I think I'm not as bad in that regards as in the past! This thread you started, I have tried to post to the best of my ability what the Catholic Church teaches, if I am wrong and can be shown to be wrong by an elder in the Church, I will humbly repent. This is not an elitist mentality, no more than any of you would want to show a Mormon where he or she is in error. Some of the ministry you claim to be doing is good and noble, praise worthy, but if your going to do a thing, go all the way, if your going to be a christian, you may as well be a Catholic! 
BTW, this isn't "my church", it is the Church that was founded by Christ on Peter, it was here before Luther or Calvin and it has continued on long after they departed! Remember, I have been a part of the Protestant chuch for years, it has been my study of the early Church fathers and the testimony of devout Catholics wich have led me back to "Rome Sweet Rome." Is it hateful and cruel to tell a Morman or JW that they are not part of the true Church, wouldn't you?
BTW, I'm not saying anyone here is in the same heretical boat as the two groups I mentioned, just trying to make a point. |

In another thread you claimed yourself to be a "powerful woman of God", if this is true, you have no reason to leave the board or this thread, make your stand! |
