Now who's being naive?Um...Catholics ARE Christians.
Now who's being naive?It's so tiresome having to make statements of the obvious, isn't it?
reminds me of when I told my friends from the "non-denominational" Christian church that I was becoming a Catholic.
So, the wife said, you're going to renounce Jesus?
Her position was that, since Catholics "worship Mary," I was renouncing Jesus.
I wonder how hard God laughs sometimes...
I'm sure in the 1000 posts prior this point has been raised but I'm too lazy to read them all. So just in case...
Let me correct your statement by saying "some" Catholics are Christian. (I hold up Ted Kennedy and most of the church in the Northeast).
Just as some methodists are Christian, some pentecostals are Christian etc. Christianity is an personal relationship between a person and God in the person of Jesus Christ. Joining a church no more makes you a Christian than sleeping in a garage makes you an automobile
