“...it’s a secretive, cloistered religion and its adherents seem to like it that way.”

First of all, on a post somewhere you stated that you weren’t anti-Catholic. This post of yours could have fooled me about that.

Secondly, what you have posted is your opinion, obviously, but that does not make it true. And it isn’t true.

I was referring to the fact that most Catholics I know like the Confessional booth and admire cloistered nuns and don't mind if they get most of their doctrines through the church hierarchy rather than from their own reading of Scripture. Add that to the fact that the Vaticanus is still kept in the Vatican under lock and key and is not allowed to be viewed by the public.

The very idea of baptismal regeneration is a type of mysticism which other Christians do not share.

And yes, I agree with you, all this is just my opinion.
