Incorrect - it is a religion that requires that you go to Mass every DAY

That's false, Alex, and inexcusably so.

2180 The precept of the Church specifies the law of the Lord more precisely: "On Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass."117 "The precept of participating in the Mass is satisfied by assistance at a Mass which is celebrated anywhere in a Catholic rite either on the holy day or on the evening of the preceding day."118

Now, Alex, you have NO EXCUSE for ever posting that error again. You know better. To knowingly post a falsehood is to lie; to lie about another person or group is to bear false witness against them. I feel quite certain, Alex, that you have heard the phrase "bear false witness" before ... and that you know it to be an act forbidden by God.

Thank you for the education. And for the record, how often do you personally attend Mass, AB?

Not only have I heard it before, I've quoted it at least a half-dozen times myself to the many anti-Protestant Catholics who frequent FR. I can think of a couple of times when I should have quoted it to a few more (one comment from a Catholic, following criticism of the Kennedy funeral, about how Protestants would honor Robert "Sheets" Byrd at his funeral comes to mind), but I was no doubt feeling charitable at the time.
