I agree. And they are always welcome in our church. But I will never a Catholic.
Hard headed? No. but I read my bible (similar but not totally same as Catholic’s) and don’t see where I cannot pray directly to God.
Other issue is illustrated by the current Jesuit Pope. The leftist view of the world. Not buying that.
I would like nothing better than Christian and Jew total cooperation.
There are a lot of current Muslims (by birth) who would choose to be Christians, if it did not cost them their lives. That is another issue.
The Catholic Church has never taught that you cannot pray directly to God.
Too bad it costs them their SOULS!
