10. “Catholics believe you can pay your way into Heaven.” We definitely do not. That is a huge misconception which occurred during the Protestant Reformation.

You can pay your way into a Catholic funeral. Ask the Kennedys.

nah.. don't ask the Kennedy's... ask the clergy that wink and nod with the cynic's eye. Those pathetic fops are the reason the church has had problems. NOT THE STRICT Catholics but the ones that coddle the homosexual priests, the abortion supporting political connections, the money transfer for annulments and such.

The HYPOCRISY of the Vatican that has been infiltrated by communist and socialist that mix politics with religion. Which means they are of "worldly" concerns not of our spirit or souls.

I am a Roman Catholic..

Regarding “pay your way into Heaven,” That was one of Martin Luther’s 95 Theses, “sale of indulgences,” if I remember correctly. Also I remember that the Catholic Church abolished those within a hundred years of Luther’s Theses. Yes, it probably took to long, but it was ABOLISHED and thus recognized as an issue that was wrong and a correction was made.

I leave the Kennedy’s and their relationship with God, to God.

Where are you getting that mistaken information?

A Catholic funeral is not Heaven—or a guarantee of Heaven. When the time comes, just ask the Kennedys!
