By the way: You may have noticed me posting on these threads, although I am not a Catholic. I am, however, actively considering converting to Catholicism, and am pretty much at the point of doing it. I am having a big problem, however, with my wife.

While she does not have anti-cahtolic bias, she very much beleives that many Catholic teachings are wrong.

I have gotten her to accept that the Catholic Church is the Church founded by Christ, however she thinks it has gone totally astray. Anyway, her major problem is the refusal to accept the idea of confessing to men i.e. Priests. Anyone have any advice?

How can anyone prove that a religion is false?

Faithful adherence to religion is also seen as tantamount to extremism leading to violence. The terrorism of Muslim extremism has lent itself neatly to that thesis.

What a load of dung!

Violence against non-believers is against Christ's teachings, unless it is in self defense (look it up), whereas violence against, and enslavement of non-muslimes is part and parcel of the Satanic verses of islime.

If Christians adhered faithfully to the word of our Lord, we would have true peace....Mohammedans adhering to the ravings of their pedophile phony prophet leads to bombings, beheadings and slaughter of unimagined proportions! Ask the Christians of Sudan, Nigeria, Pakistan, Egypt and other countries with sizeable muslime populations what adherance to the unholy Koran means!


Sometimes I'm absolutely stunned by how STUPID so many "Christian" theologians can be! Comparing the word of the Son of God to the blatherings of the spawn of Satan is the most UN-Christian thing that these idiots can do!

"There is also much heated debate within Catholic circles over what the (according to Küng) 4-hour meeting, signified."

Wait a second... Bishop Fellay gets 35 mins and this heretic gets 4 hours??
