MHG,
i must say this is the first post i have ever read on FR from a non-Catholic Christian that has ever defended the Church against these scrurilous and intrue attacks.
i have been waiting and waiting, and finally my faith in the honesty of some non-Catholics has been restored.
everyone knows these “untruths” are just that, untrue, but you were the first to call them on it.
you are truly a 1 Corinthians 13 Christian, someone who loves truth rather than lies.
when Protestants are accused falsely, i have always defended them against untrue charges.
God bless you.
The Lord be with thy spirit also.
