how do I repair a freindship?

[curtins]

ok things are getting a bit better- shes not all hostile anymore- I think we've come to the conclusion that we have to find a long term solution because putting it aside- it always seems to come up every 2 months or so and we're at each others throats

so hopefully tomorow we can work things out

if you guys could saya quick prayer for us but mostly for her especially that she returns to the faith

thank you so much

It's simple, apologize. I completely understand that religion is a very big thing, but you shouldn't be pushing it on her. If she has reason for wanting to leave the church, don't tell her shes wrong or try and change her mind, you will drive her away. Let her work things out with herself, just be there as her friend and if she asks advice give it, other that that just live a life she would want to live. But don't try and chose her religion for her, it won't work.

Most Orthodox Catholics are narrow minded? Thats a great lie to be spreading around.

Narrow minded: Lacking tolerance or flexibility or breadth of view

In other words, that'd be saying that Orthodox Catholics don't understand other people's points of views and only are willing to hear their side of the story without arguement. Narrowmindedness is not a virtue. Catholics are some of the most openminded Christians. Everyone goes too far which is why we should not judge people by their religions. That's stereotyping.

yeah but I didnt mean it that way- I meant we stick to our beleifs
