Who do you say that I AM?

How many "prayer warriors" do you know?  Twitter's a great place to meet them, or to hone your own skills of praying for people. I have a great group of Twitter prayer warriors to share my Catholic faith with. We call our selves "Catholic Characters," because we find joy in praying for and lifting each other up. And supporting each other in our apologetic pursuits.

Lately, I'm finding a new type of person to pray for. These are the tweeps we engage in our "apologetic pursuits." They can be Protestant, gay, or atheist, or anywhere in between. Each are unique in their beliefs, and their ability to persuade, argue, insult, encourage, or cajole. But they all share one thing in common: every one of them thinks they understand, and can explain in a nutshell, what Catholicism is.

I haven't found one who can.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen once said, "There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.” 

I'm not saying that people hate us (although some might), but that their perception of Catholicism is based on a false premise. And who can blame them? Everywhere you turn, Catholicism is being assaulted. It's very easy to hop on that bandwagon.

I'd like to continue the discussion here. Help to dispel ideas of what our opponents think Catholicism is. Veni Sancte Spiritus.

@1catherinesiena @lindagaboardi @AwakeDeborah No offense meant, but the Catholic Church has made idols of Mary and the saints.
