I'm confused. On the one hand you seem to have a problem with Catholicism in general. On the other, you back off and indicate that your quarrel is just with some extreme Catholics. And you rightly point out that the same could be said about people of all faiths. No argument there.

But you go out of your way on this and other threads to attack Catholics, the Catholic religion and general, and the Pope in particular.

I responded with documentation that the first Christians, including many who walked with Jesus, and knew Him personally, practiced His faith just as Catholics do today, 2000 years later. I won't claim that I know better than you, but are you saying that you know better than they did?

True you are.. I have a problem with sheep pens.. i.e. John ch 10..

Sheep pens, goat pens, vampire pens, pig pens and hyena pens.. etc..
Course I tend to paraphrase sheep pens into current american culture..

I have been to “churchs” of every size shape and demeanor..
Including synagogues, mosques, temples, shrines, and cathedrals..
house of God, house of prayer, pagoda, pantheon, place of worship..
sanctuary, tabernacle, altar, chancel, holy place, sanctorium, sanctum...

They all are very similar.. designer Gods.. with Used God Salesmen..
Most try to sell me something when all I want is for them to Show me Something..
