You are probably just fine with good Roman Catholics like Nancy Pelosi, though.

As someone who was beat up by Catholic kids for walking past their church and school to get to my Lutheran Church, back in the 50s, and then told that their priest said it was justified, I find your comments pathetic.

Pelosi’s political views are disgusting, and she should be publicly excoriated for them if not excommunicated.

But to return to the original topic, it’s like some of my fellow Catholics all of a sudden woke up and found out that the Reformation happened.....”oh no....people are (gasp) anti-Catholic! They believe the Pope is the Antichrist!!!”

Uh, where the blazes have some of you been for the last 500 years? Do you not also realize that we Catholics are, by definition, anti-Protestant? Do you not know how many Catholic prelates have felt free to speculate on Luther, Calvin, Cranmer et al. in the bowels of hell?

If people are going to be so thin-skinned, let the grownups do the theological disputation.

People are getting their heads cut off for being Catholics in the Middle East. And Americans get all bent out of shape about a politician attending a church where Lutherans believe what Luther believed. Sheesh.

I can tell you, Pelosi and all those dissident, unfaithful Catholics most certainly did NOT get a pass from this writer. Check him out. He has consistently exposed, opposed and confronted them with his pen...while praying for their conversion and return to the truth.Sorry you had a bad childhood. that’s not the issue.

I find your comments pathetic.

Particularly ironic coming from a whiner still sniveling after more than fifty years....

I've never recommended therapy to anyone, but in your case...

The truth is, what you say about Pelosi (and might I add Sebelius, Biden, Kennedy, et al) is true. There are few things more detrimental to the well being of mankind than reprobates. Not even protestants, because, ultimately, they're just powerless poses.

I am a product of your era, and a small town of many faiths and some vestiges of old world schism (socially) between protestants and catholics

however

why do I smell BS in this story and believe those kids would have beat you up regardless of any religious affiliations?

So you were beat up by bullies as a kid. Those bullies happened to be catholic. Those same bullies told you the priest said they were justified. And you believed them? This argument is so rediculous It’s down right pathetic. The entire catholic church is bad because some catholic kids were jerks. Ok....
