Where is your rebuke of Jim for being a patronizing snob in ipso facto finding every Catholic who makes a gesture insincere in their hearts?

You would be taken much more seriously in your efforts if you were even the slightest bit fair in your assessments honest.

Bullshit. You just are completely unable to see the ugliness of some of the non-Catholics here.

I know that actually quoting their words means nothing to you, you call me a liar anyway, but here is what Jim said in 51605:

I can relate to these feelings, that's how we feel when we see RC's, wasting time doing all those man made rituals and traditions that have no biblical support, when you could be spending quality time directly with God.

Where is his qualification here? Nowhere, that's where. He is not saying "some" Catholics do this. He says, authoritatvely, that "RCs" "waste their time" with gestures and stuff that isn't Biblical. And then, he counters this to "spending quality time" with God. As if all of the above, that the blanket "RCs" do has nothing to do with spending time with God.

I would probably die spiritually in your Church, as so might you in mine, but since God only sees the inner man, and not the outward appearance, I’m sure that the large percentage of what you do in your Church that doesn’t come from the heart, God doesn’t see any way.

This is only "certian" Catholics, and he just forgot to say so, right?

You disgust me.
