Just to beg your pardon for my being catholic, if this upset you, since we are brother in Christ

I don't know much about you, christians of other confessions, but i seldomly read some blame on us, each other.

Yet,
when people choose their confession, it's probably not a default choice.
Something likely refrain them to adhere to some practises of the others.
i guess a kind of reject is involved in the choice. Rejection is simply not expressed, but is probably a reality.

Now,
i think of Mt 5, 24, about the getting first reconcile with the brother, before any gift-making before the altar, and i say to myself :
It's long since i heard this piece of scripture, and i never thought of trying to apologize to brother, and went on with my catholic celebrations without worrying.

What's more,
without willing to put myself in God's shoes, i realize this behavior i adopt in my practise is very uncomfortable for anyone who would put himself in these shoes, for it's the place of the indirect responsible for the trouble, through the deployed love and zeal for him.
How can they possibly be pleased by these divisions, especially if they are the subject of it

So, you understand, my approach is for my sake, but i truly beg your pardon, please
