Vladimir, thank you so much for your response.
I am going to write to the local archdiocese and tell them what these clowns I know are saying. I am going to name the churches each of these people attend, so that the powers that be can notify these people that there was a true purpose for Jesus dying on the cross for us.
I know this should be obvious to Christians of ALL denominations, but it apparently is not. Again, thanks for your response.

I would write to the people involved. The archbishop isn’t going to know you from Adam. You might come across as a crank to be honest. The best thing to do is to write to the people you know, explain what’s going on, and invite them to read the Church’s own catechism or the document I linked to. Also, pray for them. Everybody needs prayers.
