I really believe we need to do everything we can to restore unity among all Christians in this time of great evil throughout the world. One place that needs a ton of prayer and work is the chasm between Catholic-Christians and non-Catholic-Christians.
To be honest, it makes me both sad and furious when I am exposed to anti-Catholic lies and slander perpetrated by my own sisters and brothers in Christ. I get it that the Left-wing atheists hate us. But why any of Jesus’ own children help spread their filth is a puzzlement.
If nothing else, the fact that the Left is so virulently anti-Catholic should make Conservative non-Catholic Christians wake up. Satan doesn’t attack his own.
I was led to a personal relationship with Jesus by a Baptist classmate and have always had many devout non-Catholic friends. While I definitely believe Catholic doctrine and am certain it is the Holy Spirit’s will for me to stay Catholic, I’m not prejudiced.
I really love being able to prayerfully dialogue with others about doctrinal differences; I make no effort to proselytize or convert anyone, because I think the church you go to is the Holy Spirit’s business, not mine.
My one prayer today is that all y’all will make an effort to understand the Catholic side of things. Contact me or run a search of the Catholic Catechism. Read stuff at pro-Catholic sites to balance whatever you read at anti-Catholic sites. Nobody is asking you to agree or convert, only to stop spreading lies and slander.
God is Truth. You really don’t want to have to explain to Him at judgment why you kept on talking trash about Catholics, because you were too lazy to google.
