Two others things, too. What you are saying, then, is that if Catholic Church aid workers help ebola victims, that “counts.” but when Christians work with a group like Samaritans’ Purse to help them, that doesn’t. Well, to the Lord it does, and if how you are looking at things doesn’t agree with how He does, so that you simply negate the Christian work of some so you can compare work done by churches in order to put yours first, then it sounds like something is wrong with that.

And second, what I’ve been starting to see is how closely Catholicism is tied to racial segregation in the U.S. Case in point is St. Louis - highly Catholic and highly segregated. The Northeast - highly Catholic and most segregated schools. Detroit, Chicago, L.A., well-known for their segregation, but it’s not just there. Baton Rouge - white citizens trying to form a separate city to escape black people. Buffalo, NY, where I come from. 77% Catholic. The city is about 45%-45% white and black but very segregated and Cont’d

And what about the KKK that burned down Catholic Churches?

Get real.

Come visit my parish ... we have folks from all over the world ... Honduras, Guatemala, Kenya, Nairobi, Vietnam, Phillipines, etc. Yes, mostly white (Dallas suburbia), but a lot of the others. We even host an African mass on occasion.

Segregation? Not here.

Do you actually know anything about history at all? Do you understand where segregation started, and what the predominant religion is in that part of the world?
