one of the reasond that the protestant revolution took place is that meny, many, many, found it too hard to be a Catholic....you must live up to HIGH standards or just go about being whatever you want and living up to maybe some standards....

It's HARD to be a Catholic because of their high standards?

What standards? The ones the PRIESTS live up to when they molest children?

Please tell me that you're not saying that with a straight face.....

There was a time when leaving a young one in the care of a priest wouldn’t have been thought twice about.

No longer.

that's an asinine example of anything....priests are human and commit the same sins as everyone else....just not as often I hope. I do say that with a straight face because it is true, Catholics live up to a higher standard than do most others. Do all Catholics live up to every standard...of course not but that changes nothing. We have the seven sacraments instituted by Christ, the consecration of the nread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ.....you may not believe in things like that but your inability to accept reality changes nothing.
