That's your opinion. Everyone has one. :)

My friend, Here is my perspective (opinion). I am a Christian and I am a Catholic. I have friends and family members in just about every denomination you can think of including Methodist, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Evangelical Mennonite, Evangelical Free, Baptist, and Mormon. My brother is a Protestant minister.

Christians are my brothers and sisters in Christ. Within reason, I am tolerant of the doctrines of other denominations. After all, if there was no other message Jesus gave us, it was to love each other.

But, I am intolerant of statements that attack my church. Just as I hope you would be of yours.

Statements like, “Here's my choice: follow Christ to heaven or the pope to hell.”, are over the line.

Let’s remember, you’re talking about a guy who took a KGB bullet in his effort to bring Christianity and freedom to the world.

There are a lot of strange hypotheses floating around out there based on wild interpretation of The Revelation. I presume it’s based on these that you’ve arrived at your “opinion”. I’ve listened to many of these hypotheses and concluded that they are ill founded and pernicious (my opinion).

Be careful about them. Based on their logic, a case could just as well be made for you being the antichrist as anyone.
