Agreed. I do not like the Catholic "church" (because of what I believe to be teachings wholly antithetical to the teachings of the Bible)...HOWEVER, I will not ever 'attack' a Catholic for his choice to be a member of that Church. Because, the 'key' to 'true' Christianity is not in the 'show', but in the LIFE of the individual. As far as I am concerned, a Catholic is every bit as 'Christian' as any Protestant, providing that EACH of us LIVES his/her life as the Bible instructs us to do. Highly doubt that an 'institution' (i.e., the external "church") is going to be the 'theme' of judgment; more likely it will be the 'individual' (i.e., the internal "church") that is going to be evaluated.

More importantly (at least in my mind) is that, at this point we have much bigger problems that each other. Same goes for the Jews for that matter.

Petty squabbles here are counter productive, imho.

You said.....I do not like the Catholic "church" (because of what I believe to be teachings wholly antithetical to the teachings of the Bible).

May I ask what denominaton you belong to?
