Sorry. But I know too many folks who turned their back on Christ and left His Church over such lies, including close friends and relatives (most recently my kid sister.) I wish I could just sit back and laugh. These lies must be refuted.

[Saint?] Torquemada, First Grand Inquisitor of Spain, pray for us! ;-)

(Can't you just here that song from Mel Brooks' "History of the World Part I", you know the one that went...

"The Inquisition, here we go, the Iquisition's don't you know? Cause the Inquisition's here, and its here to staaaaayy!"

Take heart Brian. Many of us who walked away are treading back.

Well, your sister (and friends & relations) will have my prayers that she returns to the faith. I do know you are passionate in your defense of the faith... and I realize the lies must be countered with the truth. Please do not think I'm asking you to "chill-out," I'm asking you to look upon this mission as something joyful...Thank the Lord He has seen fit to give you this calling! Pace yourself, and do not become angry. Fight the lies with the tools God has given you (and they are many).

It's my sincere (and humble) belief the way to fight the lies is with humor and compassion (note: I did not say 'tolerance.') Let's let Jesus be our guide in this crusade...He challenged the lies, rebuked when needed, and sought to educate... He did not become angry with those in need of His Salvation.

May His peace be upon you. :o)
