Default Frustrated with non-Catholic friends

Today I was speaking with someone about the preschool Quinn is going to be attending, which happens to be Catholic based. So she said well we are Christian and not Catholic so I don't want my son going there.

Okay so that's fine, don't send him there BUT I am just as Christian as you are!!! Why oh why do people think we are not Christians? I mean we still follow Christ and his teachings.

I don't mean to laugh but we just went through this on the debate board. It's quite frustrating isn't it.

It's simply that our doctrine and our teachings aren't easily explained because it's not literally right out of the Bible. It takes too much thought to understand it so they say it's not Christian.

I feel your pain

Yes, the debate board has been horribly frustrating recently!

I understand your frustration - I love God with my heart, and I know how He has changed my life. Being told that I'm not a Christian, or that the Church isn't Christian, disturbs me to the depth of my being - and it HURTS.

Why oh why do people think we are not Christians?
Because people are ignorant.

It is very frustrating, we are Christians and Catholic inclusive. I don't think people understand the Catholic faith and find it easy to judge and rather than taking the time to understand just spout these words. We are different from most

That drives me nuts too. I usually try to explain but somehow many people don't seem to understand that belief in Christ is what makes people Christian, not what church you go to.
