Anyway back to the topic of the thread.
I get into these battles with Catholics on the doctrine of the church, passionately defending the ideals of Protestantism and Evangelical Christianity and they quickly categorize me with Catholic hating fanatics because they are seeing only one side of me. But a passionate rejection of those ideas I disagree with in Catholicism is NOT the same as a hotility towards Catholics or the Catholic church. The truth is that on other fronts I am fighting with other Protestants to defend Catholicism. Here is one ongoing battle, staring in 2005 and continuing to this day where you will find my own passionate defense of Catholicism.
http://www.astahost.com/Catholicism-Vs- ... t4080.htmlThe OP was retracted by the author but you can see some of it quoted in responses. I join the discussion on page 3, sharing some of the same Protestant concerns. However my defense of Catholicism starts the very same year 2005 on the bottom of page 4. On page 5 I defend some of the claims of the Orthodox church, and later on the the same page quote the Catholic Catechism to call out someone trying to tell us what the Catholics believe. My role in the remainder of the thread is one of defense in reaction to the repeated attacks being made by other posters.
