I am not a Roman Catholic.

I do not believe the RC Church represents true Christianity.

That said, I find it disgusting that people are objecting to the wearing of ashes, by this lawyer, by Joe Bidet or anyone else.

That is a traditional observance in their faith and should be respected as such.

I tend to have more respect for what Jesus has to say about such practices. Just my opinion.

That's a topic for a whole 'nother thread. My belief is that God looks upon the heart, rather than upon the form of worship.

I've known "rote" Catholics who mouth the words and go through the motions, but I've known others who are genuine God loving Christians. And I've known Baptists, Methodists, Pentecostals, etc. of both stripes as well.

And just because the Mormons have what seems to many of us some strange side beliefs, if they accept Christ as their savior I accept them as Christians.

Like I said, whole 'nother thread!

God Bless you.

you should do a lot more follow up on Catholocism....yes it does represent true Christianity, in fact it is the ONLY christian group that does......it alone was founded by Christ, on the apostles and has lasted for over 2,000 years...none other can even suggest making that claim.....none
