Oh, really?

Then why are there so many Catholics in the world?

What an argument! By that logic Islam must be true. But a remnant shall be saved. A few RCs even.

Number of reasons, probably...The biggest one being being taught that they have control over their destiny...Most non Christians don't think they are bad enough to go to hell...Catholics appear to think just a little fine tuning on their part will cinch the deal...

Just the idea that you guys have nothing to confess for months at a time is a sure indicator of that...

Quite clearly, many feel that just being on the team is good enough for a flight home...I have talked to numerous Catholics who believe that...And that apparently is what they are taught...

Most of the Catholic crew obviously don't take your rules seriously...This can be seen by the way they vote and live...It's easy...Just do some good works and you are home free...

I'll bet that if serious Catholics only were counted, your religion wouldn't number a quarter the size it is now...

It's easy to be Catholic...You don't have to repent...You just have to do a little penance now and again...You don't have to have a change of heart, just show up and get some water sprinkled on you and you're on your way to purgatory...
