My comments on this thread --as well as any LONG threads on Catholicism and its defense would be one or two -- one on explanation and a second (if any) which would border on anger, and a follow-up which, if any, does ring with anger and insult, because there are many who choose to deny, denigrate, etc. the Catholic Faith.

Continuing to defend becomes an exercise in futility and results in feelings that lack in Charity, to say the least.

Your answer is interesting -- so in brief, I will respond to your own sheltered life from other sects of Christianity which do defile the Catholic Church.

For social and easy reasons, one of my adult children attends a Fundamental Christian church ... her children take part in the "Theatrical Presentations" of that church about two or three times a year.

I have always attended their "plays" (perhaps, three so far) -- but will no longer ... to their dismay -- as their half-brother (in my Guardianship) and I walked out on the last one, after about ten minutes. In that time the "script" had led up to a song of praise for Martin Luther and his nailing of his challenge of the Faith (schism and heresy), on the doors of the Church with a refrain of "nya, nya, nya, nya, nya nya" -- and verbal scorn, disrespect and hatred for the Pope and the Catholic Church.

These two grandchildren are being indoctrinated in anti-Catholicism, there is absolutely no doubt about it!

Their congregation is a First Assembly of God -- but the "pageant/play" is one that goes around in many fundamental churches.
