Instead of worrying about "those who hate the Catholic Church" it would be more productive to worry about the child molesters and other perverts in the church and kick their butts the hell out of there.

Now is not the time to be so vain and self-righteous about being a Catholic. Now is the time to be humble and admit there is a big problem with sexual perverts becoming church leaders -- and then do something to change it. Don't give any more money when the collection plate is passed, for example. Protest. Demand something is done.

Another thing that the church might ought to worry about is WHY all these misconceptions abound. I don't beleive they are around because of catholic haters/bashers/etc. but because of the actions of catholics. When someone who doesn't understand, sees people kneeling and praying in front of a statue, lighting candles, crowning statues, bringing flowers to set in front of statues, praying to someone other then God, have an infallible leader, these "misconceptions" are understandable.

I came out of 12 yrs. of catholic school believing alot of these misconceptions, because of the actions and teachings I saw in school.

Besides, there are alot of misconceptions about what all faith's believe, but I don't see many "Prostestants" running around screaming "Protestant basher/hater." IMO, catholics just ask for misconceptions with their actions, so they should not be so quick to accuse people of bashing/hating/bigotry. It doesn't help your cause. JMO:)

Are you as equally concerned with the Child Sexual Molestation by Protestant Clergy? I certainly hope so.
