A comment that is really, really beneath you.
My apologies to you, but you and I both know you are a decided minority in your Church, and stand condemned by its establishment (regardless of what Pope Leo XIII might have said over a hundred years ago).
You are probably unaware of this, but I have been duelling quite ferociously with your co-religionists another thread where they are bashing not only creationists but people who think that Jonah was a real person. I have not pinged you to that thread because I didn't want you to see and be hurt by the things I have said in response.
I have a great anger at the Roman Catholic Church because it condemns my people's cultural beliefs (creationism, Biblical literalism) while making room for totem poles and everything else it can find room for. I was a member for six years and made to feel like an evil rebel against G-d simply because I took G-d's word as literally true while "members of the family" (Italians, Irish, Hispanics, Poles, etc.) can get away with bloody murder. I am sick of my people for being ridiculed simply for accepting the literal truth of the Bible by a Church that prays to angels (which its clergy probably don't even believe in) and has neo-pagan devotions in which snakes are wrapped around statues.
I am sick and tired of hearing about Juan Diego's acceptance by your "blessed mother" when she wouldn't accept my own mother. I couldn't even get any Catholic clergyman to even speak to my mother about converting because she was too "simple." So the story of Juan Diego and how G-d loves Aztecs but not rednecks is a very big sticking point with me.
The fact that you and I are friends doesn't mean you have to mute your anger at Benny Hinn. My friendship with you is not going to cause me to be soft on the Church that allows all this crap. And you can tell me "that isn't the Church," but then where is it???
Eventually you have to admit that the Catholic Church can only be judged by its official leaders and spokesmen and not by what it should be but isn't.
I am sorry I have pained you. But I'm in full throttle mode right now and not likely to calm down for some time.
