Why do Catholics only accept the people who think like they do?

Answer 1

i think that's a sweeping statement and inaccurate... you cant generalize a race/religion based on a few people..

Answer 2

I don't think its just Catholics. Most people and faiths think thiers is the One True Way. While I am not Christian I stand by the firm belief that a true Christian loves those around them no matter what. The most wonderful Christian I have ever met tell me that over and over again. But I think a truly nice person feels the same way.

Answer 3

First, let me say that generalizations are always wrong.

Second, if you are referring specifically to Catholic beliefs, Catholics are tolerant towards those who are learning and discerning the Justice behind Catholic beliefs and practices.

However, do not expect a properly instructed Catholic to forge a compromise at the expense of Church Doctrine.

Answer 4

In my group of close friends, one is Catholic, one is Christian and one is Pagan.

So I guess some Catholics do accept people who don't think like they do.

Answer 5

They are not alone in their tendency to accept people who think the way they do. It is a human tendency.

Answer 6

Because then there ideas do not change, same reason why Jewish people stoned non-believers/followers, if no new ideas are presented then nothing new comes about.

Answer 7

Religious arrogance...

I come from a Catholic background and recently stopped attending church for this reason.

Answer 8

Because....I don't think you understand....Catholics are always right.

Answer 9

Why do people generalize?

Answer 10

Because their church teaches them if you are not a member in good standing of the Catholic church, and perform the sacraments, etc., you are not saved.

Sad.
