For Catholics?

Question

Have you noticed that some of the worst anti catholics are ex catholics who never got beyond the spoon fed education of catholic primary and secondary leaning and never bothered to learn an adult view of their faith? Don't mean a person needs a university education or theology degree just a education and inquiry as an adult in Catholicism which is available in most diocese.

Answer 1

You're right.

It's the "spoiled rich kid syndrome" all over again.

There's no excuse for anyone to be ignorant about the truths of the Catholic Church ... especially if they're Catholic.

Interestingly enough, some of the most vocal and active Catholic evangelists are former protestants ... and many are former protestant ministers.

Answer 2

It's true that Catholicism can be taken on many different levels, from a very narrow and elementary one to a rather advanced and highly educated one. However, I have far fewer nasty anti-Catholic e-mails and comments from former Catholics than from Fundamentalist Protestants, some of whom are apparently taught that Catholics don't even qualify as Christians and are told all kinds of wild, fictitious tales about what Catholics actually believe.

Answer 3

I have a problem with anyone that bashes another persons religion. I am a former Catholic,but I don't think Catholics are evil or all this crap you here people on here say. I'm glad I had the unbringing I did. I just choose to worship in a different way at this point in my life,and I was a former alter boy,and the whole nine yards. I don't bash Catholics,Lutherns,Baptists or any other religion. And I think this would be a much better world if we all respected one anothers views.

Answer 4

*Is Catholic*

Given that Protestantism is just philosophizing by a bunch of ex-Catholics, I would say yes. But as most Protestants are not ex-Catholics and the modern writings of never Catholic Protestants are more vitriolic, then I would say no.

The worst type of Anti-Catholic though, is the Anti-Catholic that still calls himself a Catholic. People who insist on changing the Church while hating everything about her are the worst to deal with. They are constantly undercutting the Church and dragging people into hell with them. They need lots of prayers.

Answer 5

Yes!
I turned my back on the church in my late teens, and in my quest to find what God really means to me and how religion and faith fit in to my everyday life, I discovered that my Catholic upbringing was what provided me with a more solid base than I imagined.
Once i was into my 20's I made an effort to reconnect.
Having gone through marriage preparation through the Church and also Baptism classes for my children has shed so much light on what it really means to be a Catholic. And I have appreciated so much that, in our diocese at least, parents are also required to attend classes now when their children are preparing for their First Communion and Confirmation.
Like you said, not many get much more education as far as religion or theology after they are adults, so having parents attend their own classes gives the Church a chance to reaffirm what we were taught when we were younger and how i pertains to us as adults.

Answer 6

I am not sure of your point, but I'll try to help out.

Let's see... I do believe most people who don't support Catholicism are ex-Catholics. Perhaps a person might look into getting a degree in theology to help them find spiritual peace. It sounds like a good idea.

Thank you for your time.

Answer 7

Nope.

Answer 8

Noone better to criticize the church than people who know all the insides and outs of it. (myself being one)
