Oh, hey -- look everybody!!! Nearly ALL of the Catholic straw men together in one place! Come look quick!
Let's see here....
Preachers that handle snakes. Hmm. Exactly how does this fit? I don't handle snakes. I do believe in the word of God though. So why not tell me a little about what you believe... do you believe CCC 841? It states Catholics and Muslims believe in the same "merciful God." So do you believe in the same "God" as Muslims? If you're a properly catechized Catholic you're supposed to. Do you?
What does Bill Clinton have to do with anything? Didn't realize he was some sort of theologian. However, I did know a lot of Catholic Cultists in college that thought you could perform/receive fellatio and then go to confession and be absolved. So how does that fit? Those folks were, according to their statements to me "Devout Catholics."
As for the contempt for Christ's Church... well, if you mean Christ's Church to be all of those elected, called and saved, well, no one in that group holds contempt for itself (me included); however if you're making reference to the false assertion that the Roman Catholic Cult is "Christ's Church" -- well, I DO hold that falsehood in contempt... because it is false.

When you do not have a reply...just toss out everything you can think of
Shallow reasoning ...part of what makes catholics..
Clinton’s interpretation of scripture, adultery, and fellatio was provided to the Arkansas State Troopers; it’s Sola scriptura. You know everyman can be his own priest. As for your standard rants about Catholics, if you don’t like the Catholic Church, don’t go into it. All your condemnations mean nothing to anyone.
