Go in peace -- really? I am a Catholic convert from Protestant roots who home-schools her kids...but I can't figure out why so many people around us seem to truly disdain anyone different from themselves. Is keeping to ourselves (along with our kids) and segregating away from those who go against our beliefs, the answer?

Who is the most hateful? Christian, Catholic, or Pagan?
I love my faith. I converted to Roman Catholicism in 2000, shortly before my first daughter was born. I had had two miscarriages previously before my first child was born, a son. I needed something to get me through the pain. The RC church provided that. But, I have never stopped loving those in my life who are Protestant. Or those who have become a part of my life who are Pagan, Agnostic, or Atheist. The mind's thoughts and the concept of Love are not exclusive to any Church. When Catholics talk about "One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church"...we mean all Christians are meant to be together in one church...not that non-Catholics are some how black-sheep.
