Later I discovered Bible based Christianity (without the Missle and the Mass). When I really read God’s Word I felt angry at the Church. After much time and much prayer I let go of my anger and felt a lot of chains fall from my soul.

"Really read God's Word?" You mean you read it in the original Greek/Hebrew? Wow!

What you don't know or never learned is that: 1.) By leaving the Mass behind, you leave behind the oldest and greatest prayer in all of Christianity, practiced since the Last Supper. 2.) When Jesus said, "My flesh is real food, and my blood real drink. He who does not eat my flesh and drink my blood has no life within him," you responded by saying "This is a hard saying. Who can abide it?"

I pray that someday, Christ will reveal himself to you in the Eucharist.

Whether it is because they doubt their own religion, I don’t know. Instead of just admitting the problem they call you bigot and prejudice.

Yes, we are well aware that homosexual predators have set up shop within the Catholic Church, particularly in Europe and the US. Yes, we have been acting vigorously to root them out--from Pope Benedict on down. If you followed the Catholic threads in the religion forum, you'd know that.

What you did was the equivalent of pointing out to someone, in normal conversation, that their mother was a whore.

How is making such a statement even close to acting the part of a disciple of Christ?

Don’t you try to lay the guilt of your Catholic faith on me. Well, I guess you can try but to no avail.

Do you think by calling me names you justify your church? No, all you do is show what a thoughtless childish person you are. “kill the messenger” eh?

No idea what you're talking about. If you don't feel shame when you sin, and then ask for forgiveness, how can you claim to be a follower of Christ?
