[Mark17]

Catholics are not snowing us who have been raised in Catholicism. We know better.

We do indeed, MM. I was embarrassed to be a catholic, trying to explain some of the peculiar doctrines of the Catholic Church. The thing that embarrassed me most, was holy water. Whoever heard of something so ridiculous as holy water?
Anyway, I was a very rebellious catholic. I didn’t really want to be one, but I didn’t think there was anything out there. I hated catechism class, cuz all I wanted to do, was flirt with the females in class. I guess maybe some of them felt the same way, since they flirted right back at us guys. 👍😁

So you confess to a rebellious, lustful spirit, and then act like it's good that those contribute to leaving the Church.

(See, ridiculous ad hominem can be directed at Protestants, too.)

Tell me about Holy Water. The only thing I've heard of it, was from the country comic Jerry Clower.

He was quoting something from a military person, talking about how the Japanese hate {something} "like the devil hates Holy Water." ...and this was signed, Halsey.

(Admiral Bull Halsey, from World War 2, who commanded the US Third Fleet in the battle of Leyte Gulf).

So, tell me all about it. I'm all ears.
