selling indulgences was a perfectly fine tradition.

Well, Mikey, you don't like it? Neither did the Church, which stopped that stuff as soon as She could.

Since it is perfectly obvious that you are not a Catholic regardless of your baptism, why don't you buzz off?

Purgatory, the Immaculate Conception, the perpetual virginity of Mary, and praying to saints which were wholly unknown in the first 300, 400, or 500 years of the Church, depending upon which tradition you're talking about.

The Church will declare certain dogmas and canonize Saints without your assistance or input. Further, the Church is really not in need of your opinion after-the-fact.

I don't live in your State--so I don't vote in your elections.

You may extend the same courtesy, and apply it to the Church, as well.

Baloney! The Church stopped it when Martin Luther and the others protested and ultimately broke away. Where you do get off telling these lies?

Guess you can't stand hearing the truth, can you? Sorry, but what the Catholic church does affects all of us -- just ask the families of those children molested, not all of whom were Catholic. I ain't going nowhere.
