"I copied that quote from another person's post, and it SHOULD have been familiar since it has been posted here three times."

Were this an isolated incident you might have an appeal to my sympathies for being duped, but literally every thread of any length has multiple and even repeated incidents of this sort of thing happening. If your disdain for the Church is so legitimate you ought to be able to criticize and reject the Church and its doctrines on its own merits, but don't or can't without looking foolish or petty. Why don't you just step back and ask yourself a few basic questions and reflect and pray on the answers before proceeding:

-Do you believe or expect anyone else to believe that God needs to lie to reach Catholics or that He would approve of these deceptions?

-Who is the “Father of Lies” and who do you think these falsehoods actually serve?

-Why is it that there needs to be and are so very many false assertions made about Catholicism?

-Why is it necessary to go to the extremes of having to hide these lies within falsified documents and attributions?

-Why is the intensity of this hatred so great that there had to be a list of banned websites and sources within the Religion Forum when there is to corresponding listing of Catholic sponsored anti-Protestant sites and material?

-Why are there so very many anti-Catholic pejorative terms and monikers when there are almost none by Catholics against other faiths?

-Why is it that you and so many others are so very eager to accept and repeat these falsified factoids about the Church without verification?

-Have you ever considered why Catholics continue to come to this cesspool of lies and go to the trouble sifting through the garbage to sort fact from fiction over and over again?

>> Who is the “Father of Lies” and who do you think these falsehoods actually serve?<<

So which one of these writers told a falsehood?

Judith 1:1 While King Nebuchadnezzar was ruling over the Assyrians from his capital city of Nineveh,

Nebuchadnezzar didn’t rule over the Assyrians he was King over Babylonia.

2 Kings 24:1 While Jehoiakim was king, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia invaded Judah

Let’s take the concept of adherence to Catholic doctrine to a more “credible” source for Catholics.

We now declare and expressly enjoin that all without exception are bound by an obligation of conscience to submit to the decisions of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, whether already issued or to be issued hereafter, exactly as to the decrees of the Sacred Congregations which are no matters of doctrine and approved by the Pope; nor can anyone who by word or writing attacks the said decrees avoid the note both of disobedience and rashness or be therefore without grave fault.Praestantia Scripturae, Pope St.Pius X [http://catholicfaithdefenders.com/genesis-myth-or-historical.html]

To be a Catholic it would seem that there is no choice but to agree without discussion or questioning.
