“BUT, is it the policy of Roman Catholics?”
Does it matter what individuals claiming to be Catholic may believe?
“and my girlfriend begged me to take here. These pigs strutted in costumery, and showed most of their flesh (except the part that revealed that they are male!).”
Is the problem the Catholics, or is the problem that your girlfriend asked to go, or is the problem that you took her there?
“Your protestations of innocence in the light of these brethren and sistern (sic) of yours do nothing but highlight the hypocrisy of the entire Roman Catholic laity”
It was not *my* girlfriend who went, nor was it *me* who took her there.
“When so many Roman Catholic ‘priests’ have been shown as pedophiles”
It has been shown that the propensity of a Catholic priest to abuse children is not greater than of any other denomination.
What church do you belong to?
“This nation is full of the pseudo-spirituality in the name of Roman Catholicism!”
Let me ask you a few questions then.
What is your opinion on pre marital sex?
What is your opinion on contraception?
Nice try at deflection. You wish to try me in your kangaroo court! I don't bite! It was your post of positive attributes of Roman Catholocism that brought forth my response. I don't claim perfection, and can care less about any pronouncements from your side. I was just noting the world in which we live.
I made that post to demonstrate the ridiculous nature of a man-made religion purporting to follow Christ, but based on worshipping idols and praying to dead people. I see people going to "church" where they are taught they can sin then come and eat some of Christ's body. The garish display and WORSHIP of your golden icons and such betrays the basis of your "religion". God spoke to that long ago! He even gave a full Commandment on the subject, which seems overlooked inside your courts of splendor.
Like Paul, I know in WHOM I have believed, (2 Timothy 1:12) FRiend, not which organization!! I also acknowledge, like Paul, that it is only the Grace of God that redeems me (Romans 3:21 ff), not works or membership!
