The American Catholic hierarchy fails to understand that when they treat these other religions as valid they remove any incentive for Catholics to show up anymore (or contribute).

The Church was never stronger than when it called a spade a spade.

If that is truly so, then Catholicism is not only weak but invalid, and can only stand when it has no competition.

Which makes it just like every other religion that claims a similar requirement, and therefore, inevitably, has historically tried to slaughter non-believers and/or damn them to hell.

Religion is a method of worship. It is limited because we are limited. Anyone who extends that limitation to the actual reality of the infinitude of God is being foolish.

If you've found a way to worship God that satisfies you, be grateful, instead of using it to attack other people. I've tried to point out that Jesus taught something similar, but I keep getting damned for it.

Oh well, all that means is I'll end up in the same hell as the Protestants. Or is it the Catholics? Which group of millions of Christians do you think are going to hell?
