Roman Catholics are not your enemy friend. You would do better to direct your animus at the secular humanists whose gospel is moral relativism.

After all, it is a Roman Catholic who has put the Lord Jesus Christ front and center in the minds of all Americans.

And one other thing, RC's do not think that Mary, the Mother of the Lord Jesus, is a deity. It shows a profound misunderstanding of RC doctrine and tradition to claim such a thing.

I've found that this pending movie allows me to discuss serious faith issues with my Roman Catholic friends. I'm a typical "faith alone" protestant of the Baptist ilk, but am challenged by the testimony of Mel Gibson, an erstwhile fundamentalist Catholic. No Protestant has ever produced such an accurate and moving movie about the sufferings of Christ. Although we agreed not to force the baggage of our doctrine on eachother, we could agree that Mary was the most blessed of women and that our sins placed Christ on the cross.

Look, I have no hatred for Roman Catholics. I do despise your practice of Maryolatry however. If you pray to a being you consider that being god-like. This is sacreligious. Blasphemous. I don't know how you can obey Christ, take communion, study the scriptures and still practice such an abomination. I shall never understand it.
