A record of the comments I make on Candy Brauer's KeepingtheHome.com Blog - just in case!
"There are not over a 100 people in the U.S. that hate the Catholic Church, there are millions however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church which is, of course, quite a different thing." Fulton Sheen
I know you won't publish this, but hey... you might!
Candy, I' can't say I'm surprised, but I guess I'm a little disappointed. For one thing, I already handled this topic a while ago here Wouldn't it be more fruitful to address the rebuttal instead of vain repetition of the same argument?
As for speaking in love - I love my son dearly. When he and I disagree on a topic, (politics, social issues etc) I at least LISTEN and examine his side of the issue from his perspective. I would submit that the ability to listen and examine issues is what makes truly great apologists (Catholic and Protestant) great! Your talk of "love" is hollow because you aren't willing to truly examine the other side from that perspective.
Rather than constantly misrepresenting what Catholics believe or teach (arguments that are easily shot down) why don't you instead concentrate on why you disagree with the true teachings? That at least would be more genuine and you would gain the respect of more mature and studied Christians.
Anyway, we'll be tackling this later. We have all but two of your points in the Vatican Vs. God article totally rebutted. I suppose this one will be next. Thanks for keeping us busy!
