First, let me say that I have nothing against Catholics - my sister in law is one.

But there is no denying that it is very troubling that millons of Americans owe allegiance to a foreign organization thast is authoritarian in nature.

I would encourage all Catholics to embrace either Pentacostal Christianity or Mormonism. This would eliminate all problem of divided loyalties, and would ensure that their Christain faith was not tainted by liberal tendencies.

ROFL -- why not both at once? We could speak in tongues and have a new wife for each new language we speak!

Huh? You might try explaining that all the Catholics serving in the Armed Forces. Catholics have been overrepresented in the Armed Forces for a long time. We are loyal Americans, despite what bigots like you say.

I would encourage you to emigrate to Belfast. You might feel more at home.

Hopefully, all American Christians owe their religious allegiance to God. God is not an American, and he is absolutely authoritarian in nature. Deal with it.

Here's a hint, pal. Several hundred thousand American Catholics shed their blood under the flag of the United States of America for your freedom. When you imply that Catholics aren't loyal Americans, you impugn their honor.

I'm named after a man who was a childhood friend of my father. They were altar boys together back in the early 1930's, and best friends.

My Dad's Catholic altar boy buddy gave his life for you on a little piece of hell in the Pacific called Iwo Jima.

You're welcome.

Why Mormonism? That has as many pagan influences/teachings as Catholicism!

Wow! Thanks for that great solution. I'm on my way to the mormon tabernacle right now!

Sorry but Mormonism is not Christianity.

Furthermore, I served for eight years under the flag of the United States in the US Air Force. Don't you DARE question my patriotism, nor that of those who gave much more in service to their country than my own meager contribution. How many years did you serve?
