Something for you to ponder: If the Catholic Church is as horrible and evil as you say why is it still here after 2000 years?

I've never called the Catholic Church horrible or evil. I have taken issue with Pope Francis on several issues, but that doesn't mean I think he's evil. I think that means he and I have different beliefs.

In fact, I do try to look for common ground as Christians. For example, I admire the Catholic Church's stands on same sex "marriage" and have said so. But if I believed everything the Catholic Church believes, I'd be Catholic. That's a long way from calling it evil.

My posts in this thread have been to take gentle issue with a poster who claims the Bible was written by Catholics and with a poster who said confessing sins to God was somehow a Protestant misinterpretation despite extensive Scriptural proof to the contrary.

Broad-brush interpretations serve no one and do your argument no credit.

Nevertheless, you will eventually be accused of being *anti-Catholic* and a *hater* simply for disagreeing, no matter how much you stick to the topic.

Some people just don't deal well with other points of view and take things way too personally.
