What planet is this writer from?

Here on earth, I have never, not once in my entire life, ever, heard a Catholic say he/she was not a Christian.

Here on earth, I have never, not once in my entire life, ever, heard a Catholic say he/she was not a Christian.

And yet, that statement disproves nothing of what the writer says happened to him.

Here on Free Republic's Religion forum, on various threads, the defacto expression by some RCC members has been that they are Catholic first and foremost and will not always identify themselves as Christian unless pressed. Then these posters proceed to lambaste other FReepers by posting that Catholics were and are the only true Christians.

Go look. Seek. You'll find such FR RF posts if you really try.

I never hear them say they are Christian.

I ALWAYS hear them self-identify as Catholics. Sure, if you ask they will give you a cursory yes, but being Catholic is what matter to them most, or so it seems.
