Brown is a former Jesuit seminarian, so we know where at least one Catholic stands.

Don’t forget NASTY PELOUSEY, she is supposedly a Catholic to.
NO; her last name is not misspelled, she is a blood sucking parasite.

"Brown is a former Jesuit seminarian, so we know where at least one Catholic stands."

Yeah, and Timothy McVeigh used to be a Catholic, too.

And don't forget that *everyone* who did *anything* bad in the centuries leading to the protestant heresy was a Catholic, so we can drag them in, too.

Here's a joke for you:

There were a couple of merchants who were friends, one a Catholic the other a Jew, and they were in constant discussions as to the superior nature of their chosen religions.

At the time--around the 13th century--Christianity was on the rise, and the Jewish merchant was constantly amazed at the stream of conversions. The two friends attempted to convert each other, but neither could succeed.

When on one occasion the Jewish man was planning a trip to Rome for business, he told his Catholic friend in a bit of an joking way that if what he found in Rome could convince him of the superiority of the Catholic church, he would convert.

Upon hearing this, the Catholic man was fraught with fear, as the Rome of that period was as corrupt as could be. Bishops and Priests were selling dispensations and indulgences, while themselves participating in drunken debauchery and whoring. However, the Catholic merchant said nothing about this to his friend, hoping that he might not observe such things during his trip.

The Jewish merchant made his trip, and upon his return came to his friend and stated that he would convert to the Catholic Religion. His friend was perplexed, and asked what had been the determining factor. The Jew then went on to describe the worst excesses of a corrupt era. The Catholic man was shocked at what he heard, and asked his friend why he would want to convert in the face of such corruption. The Jewish man said, “Only through divine intervention could the Church survive the depredations of such corrupt men.”
