[Gargantua]

Not in the least bit surprising. As a religious bloc, Catholics are among the least motivated, least Biblically well-read, least Scripturally founded, most cavalier and morally apathetic "Christians" on the planet.

Keep in mind, I was raised Catholic through my First Communion, attended Chatecism through sixth grade. I only converted to Baptist after agr 40, and many years of being a fallen-away non-denomenational slug. Over half of my family remains Catholic, and I know whereof I speak from personal experience for over 60 years.

The reason I changed to Baptist was, I started reading the Bible, and was amazed at how much of the basic doctrine of Catholicism is in direct conflict with Scripture and the teachings of Jesus.

and was amazed at how much of the basic doctrine of Catholicism is in direct conflict with Scripture and the teachings of Jesus.

If you reached that conclusion then you either (A) didn't read the Bible or (B) were loaded when you did.
