"Your religion says, 'join your Church'..."

That is simply and completely false, but it does illustrate an annoying and damning facet of Protestantism. Protestants are often very quick to declare what the Catholic Church does or does not without ever having actually bothered to study the teachings of the Church.

Instead they cling to the false premise that Christianity is a religion of a book and not of the living Word of God. They would have us believe and accept that the Holy Spirit no longer moves and works among us; It's works having been completed when Scripture was completed (except for that brief time in the 16th century when the all inclusive scripture was redacted).

A sect based upon a document is what one would expect from the vain and ambitious lawyers who created much of Protestantism. It is their realm, one that can be manipulated, twisted, and argued. It is one in which they, not God, can declare their fellow man in breach of and impart earthly punishments.

You would do yourself better by sticking to declarations on what you do and don't believe and stop trying to guess or parrot what you think Catholics do and don't believe because it really doesn't matter a tinker's damn to any of us.

Right...Like the 'Come Home Network'...It's been stated how many times that you're not home unless you are in the Catholic religion...

Every Catholic gets baptized into the Catholic Church, right???
