you do things your way, and we'll do them ours. We are more patient than the typical Protestant. If we can over a generation or two Christianize a people, we will do so. We dont' demand instant results.

Is it fair to assume you include these "Catholics" when you say "Catholics believe . . . "?

BTW, The Catholic Church has existed in Mexico for hundreds of years. You must be considering some very long lived generations.

You know exactly what I mean. This is why I stopped talking to you a while back.

Yes, that and the effect on society as a whole. Maybe some members engage in pagan relics, but if this is tolerated whole families may come to know Christ. Where vigorous attempts to stomp out such practices woudl lead people to take their families out of the Church's influence.

I don't see that as better.
