As he was drawn toward her religion, however, she was drifting away.

Blog pimping and cult pimping in one singe thread. When do the Roman Catholics realize they gave been hoodwinked by the master deceiver? This guy "gets off" because he can wear bright clothes and smell incense!

But, this is a story that supposedly presents Roman Cultism in a positive light, while admitting that not everybody is as gullible... His wife has gone from Roman apostasy into cultural apostasy! He has a "religion", not a relationship with Christ!

From not saved to definitely not saved. Not a good transition.

**As one damaging headline followed another, he sensed an imbalance in the treatment of the church. Moreover, he saw the Roman church as at the very foundation of Christianity. While he never faulted the press for following the story, the fierce hostility brought on by the scandals seemed to him an attack on Christianity itself.**

I bet they the press didn’t plan on this happening.

The detractors here, all of them put together, haven't offered a single reasonable objection to the Church. Instead they engage in mindless, brute rants.

And they wonder why people see through the dead, protestant heresy.

What's next, boys? Honor killings?

Last place to look for religion any religion is the FR Religion Forum where you will find many who believe only their way meets Jesus' first command and few if any meet his second one.

Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40

“I went to my first Mass,” he said. The very interior of the church shouted of difference — the stained glass, the bright colors of the priest’s vestments, the statuary.

That's what attracts most Catholics...It just 'reeks' with religiousness...

So what is the point of this when you consider this:

When he married 25 years ago, his wife, Mary, was teaching the Catholic catechism. As he was drawn toward her religion, however, she was drifting away. She currently worships in the Anglican church.

Seems like an even trade.
