You've asked questions. I've answered them. I don't care if you disagree with our beliefs, but stop spreading falsehoods about what we believe here.

Again, I explored the protestant route for a while. I even married a protestant. No thanks. I just don't agree with protestant interpretations.

And, unfortunately, through the years, I also found that protestant interpretations vary wildly. Once I got into a very heated discussion IN PERSON at a protestant church with a group of protestants berating another protestant for having a conservative opinion on a political issue. I was the only person who stood up for that one protestant against the others.

After that experience, I didn't just return to the Catholic Church. I went running screaming back to it. So, I returned to the Catholic Church BECAUSE I think for myself. If you're trying to convert people, I suggest that you begin with the people in your own churches.

Yeah, politics and the pulpit can cause more division than unity among the brethren. But I hear that the RCC makes political appeals from the pulpit as well.

That's why I am an independent voter who makes voting decisions based on the leading of my conscience. Used to vote Democrat all the time until Carter. Then mostly voted Republican all the time until GHW Bush re-election.

Now, I just vote FOR Constitutional conservatives and tolerate the belittling from some FR posters for many years later.

Point out a falsehood I've posted, Accuser.

No doubt you have.

You can find Catholic interpretations, on this thread, that vary widely.
