It was actually to draw attention to the fact that Catholicism is a false religion and combining elements of Buddhism only shows it up for what is really is....false.
If a Buddhist told you that the sky was blue, would you agree with him?
Do you see my point? The reason to believe anything is because it is true.
Jesus is truth. To deny truth is to deny Christ.
If a Buddhist or a Protestant tells me something that is true, I should agree. And if a Buddhist, Protestant or Catholic tells me something that is false, I should disagree.
