Thanks for the post.

I'm always amused by the "holier than though" sarcasm of most of the RC posters.

And we're always amused by the "Catholics have two heads and ten horns and are servants of the devil who would kill us all if they could just like they did in the 3rd century" paranoia of many of the Protestant posters.

My ancestors and most of my family are Protestants. Reading the true history of the church is what led me to being Catholic. There are a lot of gross exaggerations out there, and a lot of out-and-out lies spread about the Catholic church. For example - the Inquisition. Any honest historian will tell you it was a lot different than most people (especially teachers) say.

I did some investigation and wondered why these people (Jack Chick, etc) would spread lies about the church. That led me to investigate the Catholic Church more and now I am at mass about everyday.

The DaVinci Code is just the latest example. People say "ahh, it's just fiction", but how many believe it is the truth? A lot of these stories probably started the same way.

I haven't noticed any poster, of any denomination, claiming to be holy. It's the accuracy of historical facts that's in dispute, not anyone's personal rectitude.

All-purpose insults, independent of context, are for liberals.
