BTW: the number of Roman Catholics of the world is about 1.181 Billion and the number of REAL Southern Baptists ... maybe 60 million, a rounding error for world religions.

You would do well to maybe pick on a REAL small religion, your own size, you prejudiced, ignorant REAL Southern Baptist.

I’m prejudiced against Catholicism, not Catholics as I already explained. As a Catholic, you should be prejudiced against Protestanism, Mormonism, and so on and so forth, since Catholicism claims to have the “fullness of truth” and a direct line to the Apostles. If that is what you believe, there is little I can find offensive with statements affirming that.

My initial post was a critique on Protestants who are citing Santorum’s Catholicism as an example of “real Christianity”, even though the basic tenets of most Protestant denominations is that Catholicism has many grave and dangerous errors. Instead of judging on character, it is better to judge on ideas or, in this case, doctrine.

That’s why I am a firm supporter of Newt Gingrich, while at the same time a firm opponent of Catholicism. And there is no contradiction with that.

About the same number as Muslims. Are you sure you want to use that "argument"? Quantity doesn't make it right. It just means children are born into the religion.
