They were global warming deniers ;)

As a former catholic, I invite one and all to leave what liberalism has wrought and re-find your faith without the middle man, tithes and Democrat party donating.

The choice is yours.

It is a religion of works... being green is just one more work to add to their expanding list

LOL!

Hard to dispute what you wrote as a former Roman Catholic myself.

You are a Catholic once baptized a Catholic. The indelible mark is still on your soul. Many like you have come back. Sit down with a priest and get your questions answered.

I too am a former Catholic. My impetus to move away from the church was the realization that I really don’t need to confess my sins to a middle man when I can go directly to the boss any time.

Unfortunately we are, as God tells us repeatedly through His Word, like sheep. We prefer to follow a leader that has skin on him, so we follow priests and bishops and preachers and elders rather than the Holy Spirit. Protestants are just as guilty of this as Catholics, we just do it on a local level since we have no pope. We all must renounce the following of a person rather than the living Christ - thus we become true Christians.

1 Corinthians 1:10-13 (NIV):

10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[a] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas[b]”; still another, “I follow Christ.”

13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?
