he believes every word that he learned from childhood and is preached to him constantly.....as do protestants.

And do Catholics, who tend to be even more rote and ritualistic about including a "religious" dimension of their lives...

Tery --> that's not completely true. Many of those born outside have a misconception of the Church, but in religious dogma matters they are not fixed. They get different messages preached to them constantly but quite a few change their minds every now and then

Also, it's not quite right to blanket describe all non-Catholics that way.

Just re-read the postings from the top and tery, NGtia as Catholics we shouldn't jump on a thread like this to say "....as do.." -- that's diverting from the entire conversation of the thread

I hate it when non-Catholic folks jump on to Mormon threads and change this to a traditional C v/s non-C bash.

we shouldn't be the ones who start the same thing.

I'm leaving Colofornian and elsie to talk about their issues with Mormonism -- on which we all agree on.
