Of course not. "Everybody" knows that the Roman Catholic Church is the tool of Satan, and that the Catholic faithful are the spawn of Hell.

I'd say you are corrrect on the first part but no on the second...

Most Catholics I'm familiar with appear to want to be associated with a religion...I can not tell the difference between the Catholics I know and the heathen...

I go to work and watch the guys tell the dirty jokes, make sexual remarks about the women and they God damn this and Jesus Christ that and when the topic of religion comes up, many of them proudly say, 'oh ya, I'm a Catholic...

Just this morning on the radio I listened to a news program that stated 59,000 Catholic nuns have joined together to give their support to Obama's healthcare bill, abortion and all...They justified themselves by claiming that the new health care bill provides better for pregnant women...

Now I'd be hard pressed to believe that any one of those 'holy' nuns is filled with the Holy Spirit or that they are in Jesus Christ...

Now that's not to say that I don't believe that some Catholics are actually saved...As Alamo Girl states, you appear to have the fruits of the Spirit...

The big question is, what is a person counting on to get to Heaven...The only answer is 'the shed blood of Jesus Christ'...He did it all...There's nothing we can do...

And like the fella asks, 'Sirs, what must I do to be saved'??? And the answer is; Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved...

Fortunately you can be saved even if your religion doesn't teach you that...And your religion doesn't teach you that...

AMEN! AMEN!

I'd say you are corrrect on the first part but no on the second...

If you condemn the first part — the vine to something like 60 million Catholics in the United States alone, who would be the branches; then by logic how good can any of those branches be? Let alone the quality of the fruit they bear?

How do you spare the latter, if you condemn the former?

"I go to work and watch the guys tell the dirty jokes, make sexual remarks about the women and they God damn this and Jesus Christ that and when the topic of religion comes up, many of them proudly say, 'oh ya, I'm a Christian" --> you've seen those too, no doubt, whethere they be Catholic or Orthodox or Anglican or lutheran or Pentecostal or Presbyterian or AOG or whatever. And you use the same objection?

Have you never seen the Catholics on THIS Forum who hate obama and oppose his healthcare plans?
