There’s no such thing as “your truth” and “my truth”. The minimalist DIY American model is incompatible with the ancient and apostolic faith. If you don’t know this, you don’t know history, or else feel somehow entitled to choose the history you like.
One or the other is wrong, defective, inadequate. Somebody had to say it. Everybody else has to have the courage to submit to the truth. Call it a come-to-Jesus moment.
While having more christians won’t necessarily
change our culture, you can be assured by simple
observation that having more muslims WILL.
History tells us that members of the Catholic denomination vote pro-abortion/pro-homosexual democrat.
Since the democrats changed the immigration laws in the 1960s we have imported 10s of millions of Catholic immigrants and the left depends on that immigration for it’s survival, it does seem that it makes a difference which denomination Christians belong to as far as the culture is concerned, like the article mentions.
Of course I know that. Yours is wrong. I would hope you could someday put your full faith in Christ's sacrifice alone (and not your own worldly tributes to Him) but this is not the proper time to convince you.
The problem that I have is with people going around picking fights over this. There is no need to introduce this intra-Christian mudslinging on a thread that is about Christians vs. the secular world in regard to politics. This is doubly true in light of the graph I posted earlier which doesn't cast a very good light on the political consequences of having more Catholics.
Again, I can deal with the endless stream of Catholic threads on a "conservative" forum. Go ahead and celebrate your religion. I know there are many Catholics here who enjoy it. Just don't start (unprovoked) saying my faith is invalid.
If you want to do that start a new thread specifically debating Christian vs Catholic beliefs and see what happens.
