Have you ever noticed that Protestant religions are having bigger problems than why left the Catholic Church? Just find it amusing that they cannot accept the fact that Jesus appointed Peter leader of His Church, and therefore allowing Peter to organize the Church and appointing future leaders.

Last time I checked, jesus told the Apostles at the Last Supper to "DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME," therfore asking the Apostles to do just that- FORM THE CHURCH TO CELEBRATE HIS SACRIFICE. This "failed point" that led to the Popes also led to the CONVERSION OF THE HUNS and the FALL OF THE SOVIET UNION. IT WOULD BE ARROGANT to write off these accomplishments as easy or without DIVINE INTERVENTION.

Here is a site with a lot of statistics. I don't know where they got them but they've got a lot of them. It is interesting.

It seems to me that any church could say that all of the other churches are divided so we are the one true church. The Catholics say that Protestants are divided, so that means the Catholic church is the right one. The Southern Baptist could say that as well. They could say that all of the other churches are divided and don't agree with the SBC, therefore, the SBC is the true church. This argument never made any sense to me. Just because there are 30,000 other churches does not mean your or my church (Lutheran) is the right one. Maybe you can enlighten me.

Let's just put it this way. If a census was taken and one of the questions was: Are you a Christian? the Christians answer would be YES. Then if asked what denomination the Catholic would answer, Catholic. The Protestant would say, Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran, Seventh Day Adventist, Bible Christian, Church of Christ, Baptist, Nazerine, Episcopal and any number of denominations starting with the word REFORMED.
Let's just put it this way. What is the religion stamped on a serviceman's dog tags?
Those who make a point of counting "denominations", Protestant, Catholic, or Other, are playing a silly game.
The big "P" or "C" on the serviceman's dog tags signifies a Christian and the Chaplain asks no further questions.

That said ... how many reps, govs, senators, etc. are non-Catholic and pro-choice?
Too many! I think the point is these "Catholic" pro-choice politicians are counted among those who have the same Pope, the same Catechism, the same. . . . ., etc.
You can be more certain the Fundamental Protestant politician is more likely to be pro-life than his "Catholic" counterpart. (I think?? Actually, I think the first requisite to be a politician is to be a practiced liar).

Please ignore my reply on the "30,000" subject. I wasn't paying attention. (Old age and senility!

HEY REGGIE, FUNDAMENTALIST PROTESTANTS MUST BE SUPERNATURAL, NOT TO SIN. JUST LIKE FUND. PROTES., CATHOLIC PRO-LIFE GROUPS ARE LEADING A PRO-LIFE SOCIETY. IF YOU WAN'T TO LOOK AT THE WORST OF A RELIGION YOU CAN FIND THE BIGGEST AND THE BADDEST, JUST AS THOUGH YOU CAN SEE THE BEST ON THE OTHER END, IT'S CALLED WE ARE HUMANS. I GUESS YOU GET THAT KIND OF VARIETY OF PEOPLE WHEN YOU ARE THE LARGEST RELIGION IN THE WORLD. SO MAYBE CATHOLIC CHATECESIS HAS TO BE BOOSTED, BUT THE NATURE OF THE RELIGION AND ITS LINKS TO CHRIST MAKE IT GOD'S RELIGION. SO, IF YOU'RE A GOOD CATHOLIC, THAN YOU'RE BETTER THAN A GOOD FUNDAMENTALIST PROTESTANT.
