Shut up????
As if - as if anyone would listen to your commands, let alone your bigotry.
Pathetic.
Do get some professional help working through your MULTITUDE of issues: family and personal, even before religious.
And you are still an anti-Catholic bigot.
Calling everyone a "bigot" isn't going to encourage them to see your side of the arguement. She just relaid her unpleasant, personal experience; she wasn't saying anything bigoted.
I will say that a "personal relationship" with Christ is an important thing in Catholic Christianity, perhaps the most important thing. However, it is also important for the community as a whole to have a "relationship" with him, which is to say that the community, on all levels, should be permeated with the graces of the Holy Spirit and reflect the virtue, glory, and beauty of the Lord. That side of Christianity should not negate a "personal relationship" with God, nor should the latter negate the former.
I do want to thank you for something, though. Your personally abusive nature makes me praise God more than ever for sending my way my two friends who helped me find Him and His forgiveness. I expected the kind of condemnation and rejection you show and was stunned to receive compassion and understanding and a boatload of patience.
If you're a fair representation of the people in the Catholic Church, then things haven't changed since I was a kid.
On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
