By the way. The di vinci code was made up by atheists.

Exactly my point. What's the difference between an atheist using the language of atheism when discussing sky fairies and invisible friends and the protestant who adopts the language of paganism when confronted with the Truth of Catholicism? The answer: not much. It all stems from the same place. The inherent secular nature of protestantism and atheism. A rejection of the mystical and the miraculous.

Your blind hatred is only overshadowed by your ignorance.

It's not hatred. It's sadness. Sadness to know that this is the world I have to endure because of protestantism: rampant immorality stemming from self-appointed popes with their theological relativism which has now translated into the moral sphere. Sadness for those who know the Truth of the Catholic faith but reject it because of their internal conflict over maintaining their "autonomy". The inevitable, "who are you to tell me [insert whatever you want here]." The lack of spiritual maturity so evident. Protestantism is the refuge for petulant children.

>>the protestant who adopts the language of paganism<<

Um, it's Catholics who incorporate paganism by their own admission.

If the candles which were formerly distributed at the Saturnalia are now identified with the feast of the Purification of our Lady? What, I ask, is there so surprising if holy bishops have allowed certain customs firmly rooted among pagan peoples, and so tenaciously adhered to by them that even after their conversion to Christianity they could not be induced to surrender them, to be transferred to the worship of the true God?" (Baronius, "Annales", ad ann. 58, n. 77). (as cited in Thurston, Herbert. "Lights." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 9. Nihil Obstat.October 1, 1910. Remy Lafort, Censor. Imprimatur. +John M. Farley, Archbishop of New York. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1910.21 Dec. 2009 )

We know that God said not to.

9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God shall give thee, beware lest thou have a mind to imitate the abominations of those nations...12 For the Lord abhorreth all these things, and for these abominations he will destroy them at thy coming. (Deuteronomy 18:9,12, DOT)

Evidently Catholics don't care what God said.

First you claimed Protestants made up the di vinci code. Now you admit it was atheists. I assume you realize atheists and Protestants are two different groups.

As a Catholic, are you exempt from the Ten Commandments?

Did you not “Bear False Witness” by your claim that Protestants wrote the di vinci code?

What is the wages of sin?

Will you pray to Mary for forgiveness?

You seem to have hit rock bottom. Here, take this jackhammer and dig your pit deeper.
