“I assume when you use the term “Vaticanian” you are using it as a pejorative for Catholic.”

No. I use the term because it is more accurate. Also, it is the Vatican’s use of the word Catholic that is a pejorative against Christians.

It’s like hearing a Scientologist call themselves a Christman.

Catholic is another word for the Body of Christ, so what the Vatican is trying to have people believe is that 1) they are actually Christians, and 2) if you are not a member of their edifice then you are not in the Body of Christ. Utter blasphemy.

No. That is according to your own personal interpretation of scripture, which is of no import. In fact, the term Catholic equals the term Christian. Only through God's infinite and divine mercy are those who espouse blasphemy (i.e., those who do not cling to the teachings of the apostles, as preserved by the Church) allowed to be considered "separated" brethren.

Catholic is another word for the Body of Christ

Indeed. In other words, the Catholic Church, founded by Jesus Christ.

So, please answer this simple, multiple choice question:

"I think that Catholics who won't denounce their beliefs should:

1. be kicked off from Free Republic
2. be kicked out of the USA
3. be jailed
4. be killed on the street so as to finally put a stop to their blashemy
5. all of the above"

Thanks for your help by answering the above.

I agree.
