I knew the article would bring out the Catholic-haters. They just can’t figure out how any protestant could possibly have good things to say about their version of Satan on earth, i.e. the Catholic Church. It makes them go crazy. Ties their brain in all kinds of knots. Billy Graham is absolutely despised by millions of evangelicals because he always had a good relationship with Catholics, and especially the popes. He would not condemn Catholics to hell and never once has said Catholics were not Christians. He used to end his sermons by telling everyone to come up and accept Christ and then “go back to your churches” and serve the Lord. He would say he didn’t care what denomination someone was, Catholics, Presbyterians, Baptists, Lutherans, etc. For this Billy Graham was blasted his entire life by evangelicals, who said he was not Christian and of course could not possibly know scripture, because after all he was supposed to be sending Catholics to hell in his sermons.

Who are these "millions of evangelicals" that you speak of? Have you been thinking about evangelicals again?

Got ANY evidence of that assertion?

Links?

Articles?

Stats?

ANYTHING?

Cause that's the first I've ever heard of it and I'll bet the same for every other Evangelical on this board.

So for the sake of the lurkers who might actually be duped into thinking that you are correct in this account and actually correct about what you say, I don't believe this for one minute because I have never seen any evidence to back it up. Until I do, to coin a phrase - You are wrong.

And you heard this where, exactly?

“I knew the article would bring out the Catholic-haters.”

Don’t hate Catholics, just the increasingly leftist leadership of the church.

Do you have proof of this? All Protestants I know love Billy Graham. He has led more people to Christ than any person I know about. I think some people toss things out there hoping some of it sticks.

I sure never heard of such a thing as you just claimed, and I have been around a long time and am from Texas which has it's share of Evangelicals.

Get thee behind me; Satan.

No non-Catholic has ever called the Catholic church by that term. Only a Catholic has.

Fancy that.

You seem unable to prove your bizarre claim that “” Billy Graham is absolutely despised by millions of evangelicals””.

You should have the false claim pulled.
