I have noticed your effective, factual counter-arguments.

Actually, i'm just a simple Catholic and I learn more about my faith from you guys. The screeds put here by anti-Church posters is so ludicrous that anyone can point out their errors, which are obvious to anyone who has ever picked up a Bible or a history book. Case in point -- John L's assertion that the Church in the Caucasus had never heard of the "see of Rome" -- which is hilarious considering that Armenia and Georgia had been in contact with Greece and by extension Rome for hundreds if not thousands of years (Colchis, the Golden fleece etc.). Then you have posts like Johns in #4814, addressed to Quix, in which you can understand the virulent hatred they have for The Church, when they say And this in the face of the fact that worldwide there are people who are demon-possessed, worshippers of unclean things still standing at the front of altars controlled by the “SEE”, opening their mouths and having something called “His Body” put in their mouths every Sunday morning. --what does that tell you?

Wellllll......

There is a legend that Joseph of Arimathea escaped to Britain (Glastonbury) shortly after the death of Jesus (apparently, he was not on Herod's hit parade, according to this apocryphal legend).

Interesting story, but I don't believe that there is any more archeological evidence for it than for any of the other, numerous, Arthurian legends that came out from SW Britain.

Maybe that is what our cheesy FRiend is referring to.
