IcePrincessKRS Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Well..... I usually have a combination of the first two. I polietly leave the conversation but inside I'm disgusted. I have a short fuse sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelFilo Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I don't ever get refuted endlessly. If you are semi-well versed in apologetics you can defend the faith, fairly well. If you meant, however, when they just go blah blah , your wrong, blah blah, prove history, blah blah, go worship Mary you antiChrist follower. I generally point out how silly they are, and leave the conversation. God bless, Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelFilo Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Well thank you. But yes, I am not the angry one in my family (it tends to be the youngest, usually). So it's not a problem keeping my cool. I do have a problem with discussions that fall into an abyss of stupid remarks, however.

Anna Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 The question was regarding a conversation with a fellow Catholic, not a Catholic-basher. For me, this would mean that I would be conversing with a dissident, a liberal, or someone who is lukewarm and ignorant of the Faith. My reaction is generally either to admonish or to educate, depending upon the person's mindset. It's hardest for me when the person is an elder relative of mine and is ignorant. It's hard to point out to, say, your godmother, that she doesn't know the Faith very well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelFilo Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Well, if they argueing about the stuff like abortion or gay marriage, you pull out the bible. If they reject it, tough cookies, in a Catholic debate, it's enough to end it there. God bless, Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toledo_jesus Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 older relatives are the worst. They think you're just so wonderful for being concerned but they dismiss what you're saying as childish inexperience. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] you're lucky. it's a huge stumbling block when your family thinks you're a conservative nut because they refuse to educate themselves.
