Could be this person IS a Protestant, since he seems to know more about what the Protestant's favorite replies are to Catholics.
You might as well know right now gobosox that no one Protestant can ever get the best of a Catholic who knows their faith.
Why?
True Catholics have the Truth, and the truth will set you free.
Protestants only take the first step. They say, they believe in God, most even go so far as to say they believe in the Trinity, but every things stops there for them, because quite simply they do exactly what the fallen angels did. The fallen angels believe in God, the fallen angels believed in the Trinity, but the fallen angels would not honor His mother. They were too proud!
Yes he/she may be protestant though I'm not sure what your point is.
I can't help but notice the condescending tone to this post. I get the feeling that its saying, "I'm better than you because I am Catholic".
I don't know the background of gobosox91 and perhaps they are protestant and searching for the truth. But I wouldn't be overly impressed if I were in their situation with the lack of charity shown by posts like this. If anything, posts like this are more likely to turn people away.
Yes Protestantism is an error but it is far better to instruct and correct someone with charity then look down on them in a condescending manner with the holier than thou attitude.
I have seen this kind of thing a lot and I think a lot of Catholics have the mentality that they are saved and better than others because they have the traditional faith. We must remember that holiness and charity are not handed out in show bags as you enter the Tradition Church but it is something that must be worked towards always.
I am speaking mainly from my observation of cetain people who attend traditional chapels and when they see someone new they kind of stare at them like they have two heads instead of going up to them and making them feel welcome.
Maybe my note came across to you in that way, and maybe I just get tired of Protestants with their same old, always the same things they say to Catholics, always these canned accusations thrown at us.
If the poster is Protestant, then he/she should say so, not pretend to be a Catholic who is confused.
If the poster is indeed Protestant looking for the truth; I can't imagine any Catholic who would NOT go out of their way to help the person as you would have observed by reading the replies from the other threads this poster started. Thinking the questions were asked in earnest.
Sorry but after a few threads he started and bringing up people like Jack Chick, I am indeed suspicious of this poster. If I am wrong and the person does come out and truthfully reveals to us, exactly his intentions, I will apologize for this post, and my suspicions.
BTW ... I have never felt that I was better than anyone in my life. The reason I am not guilty of this is because I know that I am not better. I am Catholic because I have cried tears, and begged God to show me the Truth, when Vatican II was robbing the Church right before my face in the early 60's.
I have the truth because of God's grace and nothing that I can attribute to my own doing, I don't deserve this gift because of my great offenses. Yet, by the mercy of God, He has graced me.
