He's right. :) There's nothing anti Catholic about stating the truth. Catholicism and Christianity are as different as Christianity and some forms of Protestantism, Mormnonism, etc. If Budhism bathed itself in images of Christ and the Apostles it wouldn't make their philosophies Christian. Bathing yours in such images grants you no special rights nor does it grant such to anyone else. He's merely stating a fact. Catholicism may have started out as Christian, but with each philosophy it adopted that was not Christian, it became a religion of it's own.

Leave a guy on a deserted island with a Bible and he can become a Christian. But he'll never be a Catholic, Mormon, etc... Without the extraneous philosophy, the guy on the island has a better chance of getting to heaven lol.

HUH? The guy on the Island would never become a Methodist, Bapist or whatever either.

Actually if someone was on a deserted island with a lot of freetime to read the bible the odds are he would become an Athesit, As they say no book has created more Athesit than the Bible.
