But he came close when he drove the money-changers from the Temple with a whip.
On the small-scale, a person’s religious knowledge is their own problem. Lots of lapsed Catholics, or “not practicing” Catholics, or cultural Catholics that don’t know anything by their own doing. Willful ignorance.
But, on the large-scale, with percentages like that ... sounds like there’s a church problem, too. You’ve got to teach people better than that. If just one of those people is in your church — you’ve got to do a better job.

Jersey. Enough said.
They’ve been reading too much Dan Brown.
Splendid! The only way from here is UP!
After Mr. Obama is re-elected, we can get their eyes opened yet further and start the praying on our bloody knees.
People may call themselves whatever they wish (i.e. Christian etc.) That don’t make it so. You’ve got to ask yourself if these people have ever read the Bible.

And if they do... BELIEVE IT.
Righteous anger is not a sin, especially when it comes from the One Who has sole rights to judging the wicked.
Amen. Many in the Church recognize that the common denominator among the ex-Catholics, cafeteria Catholics, lapsed Catholics, CINOs and converts to other faiths and denominations is poor catechesis. Most know very little beyond the post Vatican II anecdotal and urban legend doctrines of the Church. Too often this is reinforced by the secular society and those who otherwise hate the Catholic Church. We are taking steps to correct this. Unfortunately, what has taken over 40 years to do cannot be undone over night.
Peace be to you.
By definition, God cannot sin. Christians are supposed to believe that Jesus is God. QED.
"And that servant who knew the will of his lord, and prepared not himself, and did not according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more." Luke 12:47-48
An acquaintance once told me that he lost his faith after watching the first Dan brown movie. I told him it was fiction. He said “Yeah, but still...”. He was offended when I suggested that his faith may not have been that solid to begin with.

Yes and over half vote democrat. They would do well to check out a Bible believing Sunday School class.
If Jesus sinned then we have no messiah and certainly no Salvation...
