If anyone deserves to wear tinfoil hats it's Catholics! This article is chock full of all the typical Roman Catholic propaganda and twisted Scripture passages that there is scarcely a paragraph that hasn't already been shot full of holes in previous RF threads. Hasn't the Religion Forum been monopolized enough the last few weeks with all the hourly Pope news that this old stuff has to be brought up again? Here's just a sample:

The thought that continued to run through my mind as I read those emails was, “So, whose interpretation of the Bible is right?” With nearly 60, 000 denominations in the world and counting, all of them claiming that they have the monopoly on truth, who do you believe (the first letter I received, or the letter from the guy after that?) I mean, we could debate all day about whether this biblical text or that text means this or that. But how do we know at the end of the day what the proper interpretation is? Feelings? Tingling anointings?

Sixty thousand denominations now???!!! Can you see why nothing else this guy says can be trusted? All of them claiming a "monopoly on the truth"??? I wonder, did you hunt around and dig up the most insulting one you could find? I sincerely hope NOBODY reads this article thinking the person who wrote it knows what he is talking about. He doesn't!

“Sixty thousand denominations now . . .”

I thought that was a bit much too, thinking that thirty thousand is the correct number. Or maybe it was thirty thousand just in the USA; he’s speaking world wide.
