aloha918 Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 i am a catholic in a youth group with many other good catholic people....but sometimes at our meetings, although there are no protestants there, they sometimes make fun of them real quick....nothing really offensive i would think, but still i think that its wrong I don't like the whole catholic vs. protestants thing because i think that it can really make us prideful at times.....what ya all think
theculturewarrior Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 But I thought protestants liked being made fun of?

It's one thing if it's a rare poke-fun moment, such as when me and a group of guys from the parish were putting up signs that advertise where we are (out in the woods), one made a funny remark about how we should have the signs perfectly level so the Anglicans wouldn't go by saying "Those beaver dam Catholics, can't get anything right!". But if your group is constantly making fun of our brothers and sisters, then that can lead to prideful thinking. If it's out of good humor [b]once in a while[/b], good clean joking... then that's ok. But if it's in a mocking matter, it should be discouraged. I repeated myself like 3 times.
Fiat_Voluntas_Tua Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Catholic vs. Protestant....this is such a terrible view. If God is for us, who can be against us? Totus Tuus, Andrew

People like ian paisley... jack chick... etc... then I think it's ok to make light of it seeing how if we think of the gravity of their actions and words, it would be very depressing. People like "Joe Baptist" or "John Methodist" who don't really know the truth and believe that they are serving God the way they are suppose to, shouldn't be made fun of. Just my 2 cents.

toledo_jesus Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 I think it's fun...but only when they try to preach to Catholics and show us the "truth". That always gives me a chuckle because they just don't get it... Unfortunately I'm not educated enough to teach them anything.

It's not prideful... Catholic vs. protestant is the same as Right vs. wrong. And there's no pride in saying that we are right and they are wrong. It is a mortal sin against faith to say we are not right or to say they are not wrong.
CatholicCrusader Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 ^ That was from me; I forgot to log Adam out...

[/quote] So it wouldn't be sinful to say: "Ah those beaver dam Protestants, they know nothing. Bunch of wife-beating, yelling and screaming, Bible-flinging, so-called Christians! Hope they burn in hell." If you say yes, I'm going to have to shoot you. *Loads rifle*
CatholicCrusader Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Other than the fact that the word used in the beginning is profane, and the fact that you say you WANT someone to go to Hell, then, there is nothing wrong with the rest. If you take out the part of wanting them to go to Hell and the profane word, there is nothing wrong with it. If you say with the Psalmist: "Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell" (Ps. XXX. 18), then it is certainly no sin to quote from the holy writ. (Or Ps. LIV. 16: "Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into hell.")
mulls Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 yea, i don't have a wife, but if i did i would definately beat her. i love yelling and screaming, and i fling my bible with deadly accuracy.
toledo_jesus Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 assuming they beat their wives is not good either.

[/quote] So would it be logical to assume that if one is a Protestant, that individual is then a wife-beating, yelling and screaming (I don't think Anglicans or Lutherans do this) Christian? What if I were to assume that you were a pompous, incest-loving individual who is an extremely hateful being [b]and[/b] who is in no way shape or form acting like Christ in a loving matter? I will not tolerate hateful behavior from Protestants, Catholics, or wannabes like you.

homeschoolmom Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Making fun of people, especially people who are ignorant through no fault of their own, is wrong.

CreepyCrawler Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 yeah. if it's not cool for protestants to make fun of us, then it's not cool for us to make fun of them. not only is it destructive to the body of Christ in the world, it sets a bad example for non-Christians to see us acting in an uncharitable way, AND we're all called to be like Christ and I don't think Jesus would make fun of any Christians in a mean way. if there is teaching or gentle guidance to be given, then i don't think that cutting others down is the way to do it.

[/quote] This is known as the heresy of Indifferentism. The Catholic Church is the One, True Church. The protestant religions are false and heretical. We can "make fun of" protestant religions all we want. To say that they are somehow on the same level is heresy. Also, the second comment about the "Body of Christ" is not really true because "The Body of Christ is one and the same as the Roman Catholic Church".
CreepyCrawler Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 i don't mean to say that protestants and catholics are the same, but to mock other people is unchristian. perhaps you disagree with their beliefs, but i think the church advocates a certain respect for all human beings, including our separated brethren! i think that mocking other people is a sin and if you think it's okay, then that's your problem and you only have God to answer to.
