Get a grip. Anyone can turn into an alcoholic. Makes no difference what church they go to. You of all posters on FR reach to the lowest places possible to trash Catholics. Move on. You should be happy, not constantly trash another faith. But I think we both know why your obsession the Church. I don’t need to mention it again. You’re like a broken record.

I never said alcohol or an occasional drink was wrong. That’s your baby.
Nor did I bring up alcoholism. That was yours as well.
I just want it to be clear that the things you’re accusing me of or implying I said, were not mine.
