K Michaels,

I have not seen the particular material you are referring to, but I have engaged in a fair amount of dialogue with Roman Catholics here and elsewhere over the years.

While I am sure that others will address your questions in a number of ways, I would like to focus on your usage of the terms targeted and harshness.

In particular, I would like to hear if you know of examples in the Bible, perhaps in the Gospels, where a religion was targeted or spoken of harshly by the prophets, apostles, or the Lord Christ?

In Christ,
Paul S
