Who could believe such a teaching? No wonder the people don't take the Church seriously. That and the pedophile priests. Chickens are coming home to roost.
Yeah, there are only about 1,000,000,000 Catholics worldwide, give or take a few hundred million. How many believers does your sect have?
Take your Catholic-hating tripe and stuff it. If you don't like Catholics, don't bother reading our threads.

Correction- there are about 1,000,000,000 self-identified Catholics worldwide. But those that deny any of the essential doctrine aren't Catholics, are they? Consider birth control:
A 1992 Gallup poll showed that 80 percent of U.S. Catholics disagreed with the statement "Using artificial means of birth control is wrong." And a 1996 study conducted by Father Thomas Sweetser for the Parish Evaluation Project found only 9 percent of Catholics who consider birth control to be wrong.

You might want to revise your number a bit.
