Well, if you feel the need for displays of ignorance, I guess that is your right. That JP II was the most important spiritual figure of the 20th century is beyond dispute. Does that annoy you?

You're making that statement doesn't annoy me much more than your saying Mary was immaculately conceived.

Actually, the biggest differentiating factor between Biblical Christianity and Catholicism is we still embrace the miracle of transubstantiation, but again senseless displays of ignorance are within your rights. Mary's role in Catholic theology pales in comparison to the emphasis placed on Holy Communion.

Well atleast you see that these things are not biblical. Communionschmunion, it' Mary that makes you guys so "special". Your beliefs about her are the very face of how RC doctrines are invented.

Again, your ignorance is astounding. Keep it up. I enjoy seeing you discredit yourself. It saves me the trouble of having to answer you ridiculous theological ramblings on a thread about a dying Holy man. I'm sure you have threads about your religion elsewhere in FR, and I am also sure that there are not a lot of Roman Catholics invading those threads and attacking your religion. Wanna know why? We could care less.

Your comments seem to me to be inappropriate in a thread about the impending death of a religious leader who represents scores of millions of Christians.

Can you not withhold your dislike for RCC beliefs for another thread? I'm sure there are threads more suited for a discussion of theological differences between sects of Christianity than this one.

RC doctrines = the beliefs of the church of the Apostles, along with the Eastern Orthodox churchs.
