I challenge you to read the "Catechism of the Catholic Church." The Catechism is based on Holy Scripture for starters, so you would then see that this article is so full of lies and distortions that it is unworthy of debate. By posting this article, you have shown your ignorance and that you choose to believe lies instead of finding out the facts.

It is quite interesting that several times when I have challenged Protestants to actually read the Catechism, no one has taken me up on it. I wonder why? What are Protestants afraid of?

By the way, I was brought up Presbyterian, so I know quite well every Protestant objection to the Catholic faith, and all are based on lies and untruths. I choose to believe Truth and not Falsehood.

In the defense of the many fine Protestant I know, I think that many of the objections started out as bold-faced lies; however, they have been told so many times for so long that most Protestants simply began to accept them as fact. So, when a Protestant says something today, it may not be so much based on any bias, but simply on what they have always believed.

The bigotry comes when AFTER the misconception is demonstrated to be false, the person still repeats it.

Totally untrue.

First, I agree that the article is full of half truths and distortions. I don't think it is worthy of serious discussion.

Second, I think it is possible that nearly as many Protestants have read the Catechism as have Catholics. Very close to none!
