Not that you're prejudiced or anything.

No, I'm not prejudiced or anything. Prejudice is typically based on ignorance. I used to be ignorant.

I remember as a youngster, someone asked me if I was Christian. I said, "No. I'm a Catholic."

Since that time, I came to know what catholics were told to believe, and beyond that, came to read the Bible. I didn't know how prohpetic I was, in my ignorance...

As a protestant Christian who was educated in a Catholic school and has kept up with the teachings of the Church I categorically assert that Catholics are Christian. There may be Catholic practices in which I would not wish to partake, and there may be practices of Catholics with which I disagree, but the theology of the Roman Catholic Church has no more problems with it than the theology of the Presbyterians or Episcopalians or many independent Charismatic churches I have attended. We all see through the glass darkly and we all make mistakes. But if you put your trust in Jesus you are Christian.

Shalom.
