But I find it ironic that a post cannot be Anti-Semitic but can be Anti-Catholic. That kind of puts us Catholics in our place.

As I understand it, your church makes the claim and takes the position that anyone who is not Catholic, who is not 'sprinkled with blessed holy water', by a 'Priest', can not be a real born again Christian...

And your church makes no secret about their position on this...

So in reality, your church is ANTI-every religion other than it's own...So what are you whining about???

You are incorrect on this. In fact the RCC has excommunicated a Priest for making statement such as the ones you just did. The name of the Priest was Father Fenney, I may not have the spelling correct but he was from the Northeast of the US and worked in the 50s (I think) He was excommunicated (the real thing) but was reunited to the Church when he renounced his heresy. It is to be pitied that he had followers who maintain the same error you assign to the Roman Catholic Church.

There is a doctrine of the Church that says there is no salvation outside the Church. It was made a dogma during the Council of Florence in response to the Great Schism of the Eastern Orthodox. This was more than a few years before Martin Luther wanted to sleep with Nuns outside of marriage (a little dig I admit, but true none the less)

The RCC Teaches there are three types of Baptism, water, desire, blood. And it is not absoluter required to be by a Priest, in fact if a child is dying or anyone for that matter any faithful Christian can do so. I am not sure it is totally necessary they be Catholic (there is much debate on this little item, so don't run off with this one matter. I will not be able to resolve it for anyone. I do not have the authority)

I could go on with the flaws in your post but this is a fair beginning.

One last thing you should consider, if you want to comment on what Catholics believe it would be better if you found a better and more credible teacher because so for they are selling you one pack of ..... let us just say their info is incorrect and leave it at that.

Some of the Catholics I have encountered here are some of the most thin-skinned people I have ever met.

They seem to act as if 'How dare you question Catholicism.' 'How dare you post something we think speaks negatively about Catholicism.'

They from the beginning to the end), and then engage in belittling comments/Ad Hominem.

Believe me, behavior like that isn't going to win them any converts.
