Yeah, let's screw all those who come off the street searching for God. Let them wallow in their misery for not knowing Latin.

I admire the Orthodox a lot more than the Catholics, and part of the reason is that they believe in having the language of the people being used in their services.

Why you Catholics can't understand such a basic concept that the church of Christ should be able to UNDERSTAND what they are saying is beyond me.

Since you insist on butting into Catholic policies that are absolutely none of your business, do you love God so little that you won't bother learning Latin or even buying a Missal?

Actually, these are not your real objections. You deny most sacraments, deny the Mass, den the Real Presence and you object to the obvious fact that the Roman Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ upon Peter (it was in all the Bibles) and guaranteed by Him is NOT your church and that it refuses to take seriously the "teaching magisterium" or rank effrontery of every Tom, Dick and Harriet with a bible, a few reading lessons and a LOT of issues and agendas in conflict with the Truth and Christ's own Church.

Can you point to one instance in which a Catholic has butted into your church's (if any) internal governance (if any)????

There is a reason: we don't really care how your church (if any) governs itself (if at all). We don't have to care any mlore than we care how the Buddhists or Shintos or Muslims handle their internal religious governance.

At least, you seem to concede that the Roman Catholic Church IS the Church of Christ. May you someday come home to it.

Someday, you Calvinists may get off the pragmatism portion of your belief system...
