[QUOTE="Tiger, post: 117220, member: 353"] It’s like watching a dog walk on its hind legs talking to you both about Catholicism. The “waffle” accusation—is the last refuge of those who can’t actually refute the argument presented. There was no “waffle” in my response, and certainly no shortage of facts. You’re simply just flailing about because the argument hit too close to home, and you have no counter beyond a few lazy slaps at supposed “racism.” But fine, let’s dig deeper since you seem determined to misunderstand the issue. First, let’s correct your fundamental error. You’ve misunderstood Catholicism entirely if you think this conversation has anything to do with “racism.” To reduce the position of faithful Catholics to some tired secular accusation of bigotry is, frankly, embarrassing for you. Catholicism is universal— the word itself comes from the Greek katholikos, meaning universal. The Church is made up of every race and ethnicity under the sun. In fact, the global reach of the Church puts it light-years ahead of any secular notion of diversity. Go to a Mass in Africa, South America, or Asia, and tell me again that Catholicism has a race problem. Catholics come in every skin color imaginable, from the heart of Nigeria to the mountains of Peru. The Church doesn’t care about skin color; it cares about the soul. So what’s this about rejecting non-Catholic immigrants? It’s not about where they’re from, but what they believe. And here’s the crucial point you’re missing: the Catholic Church has always made a distinction between welcoming individuals in charity and defending the integrity of the Faith. When immigrants come from cultures or belief systems that are antagonistic to Catholicism—say, Islamic cultures that have a long history of persecution against Christians—the Church is not obligated to pretend that those differences don’t exist. The Church isn’t a globalist free-for-all where every belief system is treated as equally valid. The Truth is singular, and the Church defends it. Let me educate you a bit more on this. In the history of the Church, there’s always been a recognition that not every culture or religion is compatible with Catholicism. Look at the Reconquista in Spain, where Catholic monarchs expelled the Moors after centuries of Islamic rule. Was that “racism”? Of course not. It was about defending the Catholic Faith and Christian civilization from forces that sought to undermine and destroy it. The Church didn’t crusade against Islam because it had a problem with Arabs; it fought because Islam is an inherently antagonistic religion to Catholicism. You can’t read history and honestly tell me that this was about race. [/QUOTE]
