OK fair enough. Thank you for taking me into that discussion. I still think “superstition” is a bit harsh and I do suggest that you read the Catechism on the topic of the Holy Spirit.
“superstition”?? Ouch, that's hitting below the belt.
The MORE Catholic-hating posts I read the MORE I see THEIR own lacunas regarding their faith. One doesn't wax poetic about things that don't matter.
The REVERSE is also true for Protestant-hating posts.
There are, according to Google, 3.3 billion Christians in the world. There are 30,000-40,000 DIFFERENT Protestant denominations among that plethora of Protestant denominations. The Catholic sites list 30,000 different Protestant denominations while the Protestants themselves list 40,000.
As for Catholics, Google lists 1.6 billion of those Christians as Catholics.
It's all fine, as that is what our good Lord allows. I trust in His judgment and that's enough for me. Let the blows on us fall, whether on Catholics or Protestants. We WERE warned of them.
I consider myself to be VERY blessed to be allowed in His faith--CHRISTIANITY.
P.S. HINDUISM: There are no women in Hindu heaven. ALL women must die and come back (reincarnation) as MEN to finally be saved into Hindu heaven. Hinduism is one of the more misogynist faiths on this planet. I THINK this is where the whole idea of houris (beautiful women for those GOOD men) came from in Islam. Hinduism, a VERY old faith, influenced other faiths whether those other faiths know it or not.
Reincarnation can take MANY, many lifetimes, as many as needed for the saving of a soul.
