i agree that there are definitely some bad seeds in catholicism, but there are going to be bad seeds in every religion.Originally Posted by THE FAME

for example: confessing sins to a priest so you can be forgiven, being baptized to be saved (a lot of religions believe this, but we already are saved from jesus' dying on the cross, we dont have to do anything else to gain god's acceptance), and the fact that they believe that the eucharist is actually jesus christ.
they still are doing things with a good heart, do you think god is going to persecute them for claiming the pope or priests as their holy father? no, of course not, they're just trying to get into heaven and be the best people they know how to, even if is a little different.
as they say, ignorance is bliss
Who am I to judge someone.
But a honest crook is still a crook.
thats why i dont #%@@ with religion. true christians dont believe in condemnation or judgement.
