Have you ever seen a Catholic website say something untrue about another church?

I have seen so many "Christian" websites that spread lies about the Catholic faith. Have you ever seen a Catholic site that spreads lies about other churches?

Update:

Catholic in Name Only, can you cite me some examples? Please provide links.

    The National Catholic Reporter is not a Catholic site. They advocate, among other things, ordination of women and pro-choice positions.

    No. Catholic websites typically provide Catholic doctrine without even discussing the doctrines of others. In instances where Catholic websites do discuss protestant views, they at least adequately and correctly present the other view.

    But it's very easy to find Fundy sites filled with false witness and anti-Catholic SPAM. Some are so bad, you can't even find a core doctrine other than a doctrine of hatred.

    As an example.

    Note Fundies correctly show that comparing Jesus to Horus and comparing Mary to Isis is utter nonsense.

    Yet when discussing Catholic Christianity, this same Fundy website contradictorily embraces this same utter nonsense when it re associates Mary with Isis. They go on to compare Christian communion (the Eucharist) to the drinking of the blood of a bull in Mithraism. This is truly unethical behavior. I would never trust this website.

    @ CINO, I've been to Catholic.com. I see no lies being spread there. You've given no examples, but the best you can come up with is the forum section? Get real.

    Yes, I especially avoid the ones that spread lies about Catholics they disagree with. Some of the popular ones even ban certain topics such as Marian apparitions and associated prophecies and "Centering Prayer" a popular form of prayer that annoys those nutty about New Age religions.

    New Age religions and many of the Restorations Christianities are not-so-subtly dissed.

    just google Catholic websites and do a search for "Marian prophecy", "new age", or the like. Avoid about.com, they are just an ad harvester and pay Google to put them on the top of the list. Most of the intolerant sites diss LDS. It makes me laugh, because of the historical discrimination against us Catholics.

    Nope I have seen individuals spread stuff but generally Catholic's don't have the same hatred as some Church's seem to have for us. The catholic Church doesn't need to spread lies to prove their truth. where as thats how some other organizations seem to do it.

    No never. And never have I heard anyone in the Catholic Church speak against our Protestant brothers and sisters in Christ. But growing up as a Protestant, I heard it all the time from the ministers and pastors of the protestant churches I attended speak badly about the Catholic Church. I realized later in life that they were speaking lies about the Catholic Church.

  • While sometimes individual people on blogs and such will make statements that are incorrect about another religion, I have not seen a Catholic website that specifically has pages dedicated to lies regarding a specific religion.

    Those that do have information regarding other religions speak truthfully about their beliefs, I have fact checked them with those religions and they agree. I haven't found any blatant lies on any official Catholic website.

    I frequent lots of Catholic websites and find that they rarely discuss other religions and do not spread lies about faiths. To be sure our differences are discussed: i.e., sola scriptura, once saved always saved; those debates can go on and on, but as for discussing other faiths in a manner that is not charitable, no.

    No, not really catholic sites

    but many sites by Fundamentalist protestants always give untruths about Non Fundamentalists

    i replaced into born and raised Catholic and that i do no longer think of so. i think of they steer extra in direction of T.D. Jakes. i do no longer blame them, by way of fact I certainly have study all his books, i think of. This guy believes in kin, and marriage for the ministers, and heads of the church, and the Catholic do no longer look too. i don't understand that, and a few different issues that they prepare. i think of the religion itself has good in it. besides the undeniable fact that, i'm no longer constantly useful that they prepare what they sound off. So, extra suitable than one reason, i do no longer attend till it particularly is a kin doing. i think of they have not got the choir and making a song and rejoicing that individuals take exhilaration in of this nature. i do no longer blame them by way of fact this is quite laid-decrease back in case you be responsive to what I mean. Too ordinary, and not sufficient spontaneity. If it wasn't for figuring out to purchase up, kneeling down, and sitting down countless cases throughout the time of the mass, then you definately could doze off. no longer sufficient soul song, soul prepare, soul food. I certainly have a feeling that of each and every of the flaws that shop us separated, and not segregated is the different church homes of religion. it particularly is a call. i could be stunned to work out all and sundry volunteer for one in all those lonely existence, and that i assume this is why they are appointed. i'm guessing by way of fact of this they are as previous as they are and stay in that place too.

    Not from actual sources, on forums, individuals can spread untruths, but CINO up there is wrong, that is a heavily moderated forum, it is *very* good in every department compared to fundie forums.
