ROFL -- why not both at once? We could speak in tongues and have a new wife for each new language we speak!

Those are incidental aspects - you know that as well as I!

The important thing is you should strongly consider embracing a Protestant faith, because in many ways, decrees enacted in Rome are not ideologically compatible with American conservatism

You can worship "American conservatism" if you wish. As for me and my house, we will follow the Lord.

Catholicism is incompatible with American conservatism? You might try telling that to William Buckley, who largely created modern American conservatism.

:) You should strongly consider embracing Catholicism, because in many ways Protestant teachings are not ideologically compatible with God.

My political views are the offshoot of my faith, not the other way around.

Keep digging yourself in deeper.
Your anti-Catholic comments have about reached fever pitch.

I recall that you found it "DISTURBING" that our American
President attended the Pope's funeral.

Guess what pal, the more improtant of the two is being true to God, not country. If something in conservatism disagrees with the faith, so be it. I'll follow God. You say to switch to Protestantism as it is more in line with American Conservatism (which is not necessarily so, abortion and contraception are two examples) but I submit to you that the full truth of God's plan does not exist to "fit the mold" of American Conservatism, rather, that same Conservatism should exist to fit the mold of God's plan.

Really? Do tell. Name one position held by Pope John Paul II, for example, that is incompatible with American conservativism.
