That leaves 75% who recognize the error of your doctrine. The United States was founded on Christian principals, not Catholic theology, and as such has prospered greatly. Mexaco, on the other hand is 95% catholic and remain a third world country.

And the 75% consider each other wrong -- you earlier pointed out that anyone who follows a preacher etc. is wrong. So, you'd consider all Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, Anglicans etc. wrong.

And, parochially, you bring up Mexico. Let's see -- what about the Catholic nation of Ireland that is now richer than the UK? Thats as silly an example as you bringing up Mexico's economic status to reflect on your personal theology.

Mexico hasn't been a Catholic, or even a Christian, country since the early part of the 20th century. The Mexican Revolution had as one of its goals, the ending of Christianity. The Catholic's in Mexico suffered a lot, and to a great extent have never really recovered.
