" Notice it is one side happily declaring the other is condemned to hell, while the other side does not go anywhere near pronouncing such judgments."
While the 'other side' may use more polite words and avoid such specific condemnation, if you actually notice the claims made, the 'other side' is just as guilty of pride and arrogance.
Not trying to pretend my group is better than someone else, not trying to stoke even more angry bitterness, but it's a dangerous thing for any Christian to look down on other Christians, especially on details that do not concern Salvation.
But on this particular issue of gleeful taking on the role of eternal judge, well, one side in particular likes to play that part and the other does not. You are more likely to travel to Mexico City and pray a rosary in honor of Guadalupe than I am to suggest any one specified person is in hell. Just not part of my theological vernacular. That determination belongs to the Lord and to the Lord alone.
No one is gleeful about this. That's just your attempt, yet again, to divert away from the real problem which is your view. The simple fact is that if you believe the meaning of Jesus' words: "you must eat my flesh or you have no life in you" is literal, but then believe that someone who doesn't literally eat his flesh (Eucharist) can have life in them, then you're calling Jesus a liar.
