One of the things that ought to lead us to realize that some of our antagonists are not interested in the truth is that they do not ask us what we believe and then debate that. Instead, they TELL us what we believe, whether we believe it or not, insist that we believe it, and then debate that.

We are constantly asking you guys to tell us what you believe and it's like watching Dancing With the Stars...

You say go find it in our catechism...

And sometimes we do and show you that you are wrong even from your own catechism...

THEN, you tell us we have to follow the footnotes in the catechism to get the real meaning...And then when that fails, you tells us it's in the interpretation...The interpretation of the footnotes...

And of course, you have to be a Catholic to get the right interpretation...

If the Keystone Kops could talk, I'll bet they'd sound like you guys...

And furthermore, we tell you what you believe because Catholics outside of FR post and speak and write what they believe and we can only assume it's a universal belief amongst Catholics...And you guys keep telling us that your religion is completely united...

And when you disagree with your fellow Catholics do you pull out any official paper work that settles the matter??? Of course not...All you do is scream at us for posting something you don't believe and doesn't apply to you...Now THAT is pretty disingenuous...

When was the last time that you guys showed us something out of the Catechism that was relevant to the subject? Do you have the post?

Bring it on. The official beliefs are posted. If you have found individuals out of step with the Church, then we are grateful to you for bringing it to our attention.

One of the first posts I read on the Religion Forum asserted that I believe in Alchemy. That set the tone, as far as I'm concerned.

YOu can say what you like and I may be wrong, but when I read
Your church has zero to do with the Faith of Jesus...
I think I know all I need to know about the writer's sincere desire to know what we teach.
