"People who are in other religions are so jealous of Roman Catholics. I remember once on FR a Catholic poster explained to me that people of other religions are threatened by Catholicism because it so appealing and they are afraid that their followers will become Catholic. That is why they lash out at us."

I agree.

I especially hear Catholic bashing on shortwave radio. Those people have been brainwashed.

The Catholic religion is the religion that Jesus started.

I heard a man speak on the CATHOLIC shortwave station, EWTN, and he used to be a Baptist, and converted to Catholicism, because he realized it is the true religion.

I think you just made my point.

Also, people in America are free to practice whatever religion or permutation thereof, that they choose. If Catholicism is indeed so appealing to people of other Christian denominations, those people are free to try to become Catholic, are they not? No one is stopping them.

And, a third point - perhaps Christianity should not be talked about as a popularity contest.

All of the Catholic-bashers who are not Roman Catholic are jealous because Jesus Himself was the one who set up the Roman Catholic Church with Saint Peter the Apostle as the first Pope. The Catholic Church has a history, tradition, and organization. It is organized all over the world. The Catholic Church existed before any government that is presently on the face of the earth.

All my life I have heard people of other religions bashing Catholics but I have rarely, if ever have heard Catholics bashing people of other religions. The Catholic bashers are just jealous losers!
