You have absolutely no idea what I am buying into. I believe there is only one true Faith, but my experience has told me that there is virtually no chance you will convert someone if you tell him he is currently worshipping demons. I never said it was ok for a sacred space to be desecrated by officially sanctioned pagan prayers.

I don't know why you would be so opposed to learning about Hinduism. I for one don't believe my faith would be challenged by it. I think it's important for us to understand the basics of other faiths so that we will be less likely to fall prey to their errors.

If you don't believe Our Lady can bring people to her Son then perhaps you are not a real Catholic afterall. Our Lady appeared in the town of Fatima, which was named after Mohammed's daughter, who incidentally, became a Catholic. I don't think it's a stretch to hope that Our Lady of Fatima will bring the Muslims back into the fold. I have been praying for their conversion since 9/11. Now, I will also pray that she will lead the Hindus to her son.

Who's trying to convert anybody? Do you think you do it by talking nice on a thread? Get real! Besides, I never mentioned demons--I simply made the point that Hindu priests have no business worshiping their gods at our altars, period! My anger is not directed at Hindus, it's directed at the foolishness of those who chat about being good neighbors when the house is on fire.

Nor am I opposed to learning about Hinduism--but that's not the issue. The issue is what are Hindu priests doing worshiping at our altars? You want to change the subject and deflect people's anger. The absurdity you bring up about the name of Fatima indicates to me you've already been duped by the left who have been spreading that tripe. The truth is that those who permitted this abomination are no more Catholic than the Hindus they have accommodated.

Make an innocent statement about Hindus, and get bludgeoned by the Raddie-Traddies.

That'll teach you!
