the things that impressed Priests and your average Catholic seemed small, petty, and dead to me.
For something that seems small, petty, and dead, it sure seems like you are having a hard time letting go. Could it be that your obsession with debunking all things Catholic is the result of an inner struggle that you are having with your spirituality?
Obviously, you are only projecting your own insecurities on me. I treat Papists no differently from other infidels, such as Mormons or JWs. There is no special treatment one group recieves from me over another.
