perhaps the dear pope may believe that the rich heritage of bible study and catechism with which I was raised isn’t good enough, or the baptism which I received isn’t up to snuff.

Please, please, read your Catechism. It clearly spells out the Church's position toward other Christian denominations. Also, see the exceprt from Dominus Iesus which I posted to you earlier.

This is not hostility coming from the Vatican, despite what the Catholic-bashers here and in the media would have you believe. It is drawing lines of distinction.

Do you believe sacraments matter or not?

“Do you believe sacraments matter or not?”

Yes, I believe in the sacraments. Yes, they are important. I’ve been blessed by all of them except the last rite — I’m willing to wait a while on that one.

I know no other way but seeking God’s face through Jesus, my Lord, my Love and my Life. When no one or nothing else makes sense, I take it to Him. He’s never EVER let me down and has provided when all others have abandoned me. He has answered virtually every prayer I’ve ever prayed — down to the most minuscule detail. I think I love Him the most because He'll do it for anyone who will seek Him. He's fair and impartial, and I try not to ask for anything that would not be in His will. All in all, we have a pretty wonderful relationship, and I'm not going to goof it up with strife. That's why I took my initial reaction to Him and the scripture. Bottom line, He told me not to give it another moment's thought. I'm thinking that was excellent advice.
