IcePrincessKRS Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 A message from Open Mic by Father Pontifex. [quote]I know that many phatmassers are loving people who want to build bridges and stay true to the Catholic faith. However, there are those who persist in being uncharitable by callling all non-Catholics heretics. It is true that the foundation on which they are built is of a heretical split, but those who have been brought up in those groups to do not have the formal knowledge of the Catholic Faith. Therefore they cannot reject the fullness of the faith if they have never been taught it. So, please refrain from using that terminology. It burns bridges and it does nothing to bring them into the Church, which is the goal. I love you all. Please pass this information to those that need it. I can't catch it all. Have a great weekend. Fr. Pontifex [/quote] Another note, such use of terms like "heretic" is against phorum guidelines. It constitutes a personal attack. dUSt (and the mods) asks that if you see use of the term in that manner to use the report button.
