[quote=Anonymous]I'm a black female protestant who was lucky enough to spend some time in the catholic church growing up and I have wonderful memories of the amazing people who worshipped there. The Catholic church is a big tent and encompasses many liberal and many conservatives, see for example, the Anglican and Catholic churches in Europe. Because of that, it doesn't have the deniability of many protestant denominations who can distance themselves from "extremes" within the protestant family due to different names.

I could go on but the people who feel personally offended by Catholics for existing on DCUM are INSANE. It's like they search for the word Catholic and then rain down diatribes on the rest of us. We get it. You don't like it. But anyone who wants to be Catholic can do so. It really is a free country. And people are allowed to recommend Catholicism to others. The problem is that these anti-Catholics seem to think that other people are ignorant of Catholic doctrine and thus by telling us basic things about Catholicism, we will have our minds changed. But really - WE KNOW. Thus there is no need to start bashing Catholicism like it was invented last week in every thread. WE KNOW.WE KNOW THE TENETS OF THE DENOMINATION - it's pretty well known  :roll:. So if someone says "have you tried a Catholic church, YOU CAN ASSUME THEY KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. And if the other person says "which do you recommend"? YOU CAN ASSUME THEY KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. We know who the Pope is. We know their stance on abortion and condoms and gay rights. WE KNOW. WE KNOW. You don't have to come in guns blazing as if you are educating. YOU ARE NOT.

So if you are not educating, then you are just inserting yourself into a conversation with irrelevant and uninteresting information for the purposes of picking a fight on an issue you feel irrationally attached to. You are being a troll. YOU ARE A TROLL. You can't bear the fact that someone else holds a different opinion to you so you just HAVE to rant whenever you can. Can't you just go to the political boards and criticize Republicans? [/quote]
