How interesting. Jesus came from a lower class working family and chose the lower class working fishermen and ridiculed the haughty highly educated Pharisees. But to be a leader in the Catholic Church you say much education is needed. Seems to me one more example of how the RCC just doesn’t get it. I’ll stay with Jesus example.

More odd views of a poster who claims that Catholics are idolaters, that those who celebrate Easter and Christmas are pagans and that claims that the idea of church on Sunday is a man made tradition and apparently not either Christian or Biblical.

In fact this poster claims ALL organized religions are wrong and that even venerating a simple Cross is pagan. Given that this is the point of view from which he views the world, why should anyone pay attention to his odd, often incomplete and often misread cut-n-pastes?

And look who He picked as His *dream team*. Fishermen. A tax collector. A zealot. (mercenary). A thief.

Peter, who constantly got it wrong. James and John, the *sons of thunder* (I can just picture them being the the Galilean equivalent of Hell's Angels.)

Men who spent three years with Him and STILL didn't get it; who couldn't stay awake and pray with Him in the Garden, who deserted and fled, who denied Him, who doubted Him.

And when God finally got hold of them and filled them with the Holy Spirit, they turned the world on its ear.

Acts 4:13 13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.

And being with Jesus is all it takes.
