This is my problem with Catholicism in a nutshell. Too many people listening to what a man says rather than what the Bible says. That'll get you into a world of trouble every time.

Sorry, Mel, I think you're a great guy, but you are DEAD wrong about this one.

I don't mean to be contrary, but "men" wrote the Bible. Jesus' teaching were in the oral tradition and written up long after.

Around here we call that a cult.

This is so weird. The official RCC position (2004, not medieval) is the only mainstream denomination that says anyone - even nonchristians - can go to heaven. Even Buddhists. Read JPII's books. Says so.

Several other religions feel that if you aren't one of them you will burn in h*ll.

Far to many curches do this.

So true. Catholicism is a big club of human spiritual hero's and leaders and the bible is a token for name dropping only.
