Our American minorities are overwhelmingly Christian and still for the most part under-performers dependent on hand-outs from the government.No. We have an underclass that is disproportionately minority, but most members of minority groups are contributing members of society. It's important not to confuse the two observations.
One of the great American achievements of the last half century is the emergence of a large black middle class. The incidence of poverty among African Americans is still distressingly high, but it is a minority of a minority. Hispanics move up the ladder pretty quickly as a group. There is an underclass undertow, to be sure, but as with A-A's, it is a minority of a minority. Asian Americans, of course, outperform everyone else, including native born whites.

Various people just didn't want to follow the authority of the church Christ established on earth and so they went and started their own various churches. Given the catholic church became nothing but a scheme by wealthy and underhanded Italian families who could blame them.
Be careful how you boast in the catholic Church as Paul pointed out the Jews were gods chosen people and he picked, from the nations, a new people when it served his plan...

The reason Priests are not married is because they are expected to work in near poverty and they don't get to keep any estate unless they brought it with them to begin with.
All assets stay with the people and pass on to serve the next set of people.
Non Catholics who are married and are ministers do not have their faith providing them with real estate and buildings to operate out of. They often have a sink or swim situation on their own, so if they marry, that estate can go to the family, or if there is a divorce there are assets.
With a priest, they would always have their family in poverty and that isn't fair to a wife and kids to do that. Nothing belongs to a priest, so if there is a divorce, how would kids and a wife get support?
Too complicated to have priests married IMO.

I translated a bit of this article which seems to me to be important about a truth nobody talks about...The mainstream media doesn't want to talk about it because most journalists have contempt for their own culture and its Christian religion. But let one Christian convert to Islam, and it's a front-page story and obviously a growing trend accoring to their analysis.

Paul was a Jew, Christ was a Jew and basically the first Christians were all born again Jews that became the first Christians.
The Jews were not god's chosen people, they are God's chosen people, and God the Father knew them before He sent His Son Christ to earth.
They always had a key to the front door of God's house.

I hope and pray that the Bible is placed within the reach of every Muslim, especially the Good News.

The origins of Christianity lie with the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
As for the term "catholic"---If by catholic you mean universal..then fine..the church certainly was the Holy Universal Apostolic Church...until the Great Schism when the bishop of Rome and his political allies decided to split from the the Catholic Church thus dividing the Christian Church into the Eastern and Western branches followed of course by other splits in the west.
We pray daily for the reunification.

That pretty much covered it and on the western side these branches broke off from the Catholic one due to wanting divorce, adultery or other things and in sin many new churches were born. Forms if humanism IMO.

Diocesan priests, my friend, take no vow of poverty. They are free to amass fortunes and some have, quite legitimately.

Jews are still God's Chosen People... Or do you believe that God lied?

Christ originated the Church by delivering the Holy Spirit to all of the Apostles.
