Like I said, my ex-wife, my current wife, my wife's aunt who we care for in our home, and my wife's family are CATHOLIC. I have studied the differences between the two. How can you say I don't know what I'm talking about. Go read the sites I gave you, and then come back and say it's just me. There cannot be differences? What in the world does that mean? That's like saying that Porsches and Mercedes are both cars, so they are identical, and have no differences. Catholics and mainstream Christians have many philosophical differences. Too many to list. Go to the links.

Your links and other bloviating pronouncements are patently and utterly false and therefore irrelevant. I've been patient with your glaring ignorance, Steve, but now you're insulting me and your wife and relatives, I might add, with your stupid comments that Catholics are not Christians. We are. Period, your lack of knowledge about the definition of Christianity notwithstanding. A bigger popinjay I haven't seen around here in some time.
Catholics believe, like every other Christian, that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, our Savior. We worship Jesus as the Son of God and the Lord Himself. We
are Christians. I'm truly shocked that you cannot grasp this irrefutable and unmistakable fact. Christianity is the tree trunk, and Catholicism is but one of its many branches. I'll say it for the umpteenth time: Catholicism is but one of many Christian
denominations. As is Episcopalian, Methodist, etc. Anyone with a modicum of common sense can see this. I don't know what garbage you've been "studying"--probably something written by such overly arrogant people like Robertson et. al.--but it's filling your mind with BS.
In the FWIW category, your links damage any credibility you might have otherwise had. I stopped reading and paying serious attention to such anti-Catholic vile years ago. I'm used to it from those on the proselytizing Religious Right, who so arrogantly believe that they are the chosen ones of a sort. I'd suggest using a different playbook, for that one's quite old.
