I was not happy with all of the content in Patrick’s link you shared yesterday, but even less so with the response he gave his second reader standing in opposition.  To me he simply wrote oh please…  To the next he wrote they had false piety.  Indeed I take exception to this and ask that you investigate to see if an apology is warrented to that reader.  I do think Jay hee sus was over the top divisive flying directly in the face mockery of those souls and that version of the bible.  Please review the comments and see what you think.  Doesn’t feel like any EWTN I have known.  Thank you.

don,

Thank you for your comment.

I’ll be more prudent with Mr. Vandapool’s posts in the future to prevent this from occurring again.

In Jesus, Mary, & Joseph,

Tito

I second John’s comments. As a recent convert and wife of a United Methodist pastor, it is frustrating to see 1) the lack of charity that some Catholics show to Protestants and 2) how many Catholics lump all Protestants together. Humor is fine, but not at the expense of others, particularly those who have dedicated their lives and made many sacrifices to serve our Lord. Mr. Vandapool’s replies to critical comments on his blog, which appear to have been posted after you linked here, were needlessly unkind and divisive. His original post also shortchanges the theological depth that many Protestants have toward the sacraments (yes, some Protestants have sacraments—United Methodists recognize Holy Communion and baptism as sacraments). There’s an unspoken rule that you can make fun of yourself, but you don’t “go there” my making fun of others who are different from you. Mr. Vandapool “went there.” Thanks for considering this perspective when vetting future blog posts! God bless, Tito.

Thank you, Tito.  I posted several comments last evening criticizing Mr. Vandapool’s sick humor regarding Protestants and he had the audacity to change my comment to agree with his agenda and to praise it.  That should be something never allowed and he should be fired.  Thank you for taking my comments of yesterday, serious.

Nancy,
I explained to you that your comments had spam links.  I didn’t change anything to suit an agenda.  I thought your comment was a joke from a friend—I already explained that to you. 

Don,
A couple of the comments that I received, including your comment, had no substance, yet were written with insults to me.  Comments such as those, especially on the Internet, hold no water in my opinion.  If a commenter has something to actually comment on (like the content of the post) then I wold actually enjoy posting them.  Otherwise, the holier-than-thou attitudes role off my back as foux piety.
