The guy's pathetic...just go ahead and read his smarmy, "gotta save those dumb Catholics from their heresy" articles.

And Catholics NEVER say things like that about Protestants or Protestantism, right?

Ray Comfort is a protestant. He believes protestant doctrines. A princlple protestant doctrine is that the Catholic Church is in error. A principle Catholic doctrine is that the Protestants are in error. You seem to accuse everyone who takes their protestantism seriously of being "anti-Catholic." Well if that is the way you define it, then every Protestant is anti-Catholic and every Catholic is Anti-Protestant.

I believe that Catholicism is riddled with doctrinal errors. If that makes me a rabid Anti-Catholic, then so be it. Frankly, I am pleased to number myself among people like Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron.

The Catholic Church does have a sortid history, with many unscriptural practices and traditions.

"Sortid" history? That's not a term we have in the Catholic Church.

One question - why did the "Church" fight so strongly against having a Bible in languages other than Latin? Was it because they really believed that the "unwashed masses" couldn't understand, or was it to protect their power?

Mass was celebrated in Latin - a language chosen as a common language for the Universal (Catholic) Church. This was not an attempt to keep power - no matter what the Chick tracts tell you. The idea was that a Catholic could travel the world and hear the same Mass no matter where he or she was. This is a wonderful thing -- and something I wish we'd not gone away from after Vatican II.
