You just gave a litany of Catholic bashing, sir. It’s impolite to bash what one doesn’t understand. It’s sure nice of you to “tolerate” us Catholics. You must be fun to live with. Have a nice Christmas.

Please don't misunderstand. I love Catholics, and most all denominations, as Brothers in Christ. I occasionally go to Mass with my friends, even though I feel lost at times during the service.
My point was that I, having been raised a fairly strict Baptist, never understood the tenants of the Roman Catholic Church, and where they came up with some of their traditions.
There was no ill intent at all.
As a youngster in the 50s and 60s, I recall the bickering (for lack of a better word) between many Protestant churches and the Catholic church over many of the things I mentioned.
My point was (is) that if Baptists and Catholics can love and respect each other, why these hate-filled distribes on FR against Mitt Romney for being raised a Mormon.
