Okay, look, I just want everyone to know that Catholics ARE in fact Christians, and if you don't belive so, research it. We DO NOT pray to Mary, we honour her! Just because of a few minor differences doesn't mean we aren't Christians, that's the whole bloody point of the different denominations! AT least we're accepting of other religions, while some of you claim we're pagans and non-Christians go to hell no matter what, thanks a bloody lot. I just want to know, what makes you people think we're not Christian, and I'll clear this whole mess up and explain things to you. I'm not looking for converts, just understanding. I believe Jesus taught peace, love, and understanding, n'est-ce pas?

alpha answered Wednesday March 17 2004, 9:28 am: I think most people are aware that Catholics are Christians! I'd never heard anyone say they weren't, till I read one of the comments here.
I think everyone gets a little confused about who believes what, what with all the disagreement within and among faiths. If everyone would just limit themselves to explaining what they themselves believe, and stop trying to tell other people what they think those others believe, we'd all probably be better off. :)
(Also, DruidX, I think you're always very intelligent and insightful, but you should realize that it borders on insulting to refer to someone's religion as a "cult," no matter what you may think of it personally. Especially coming from someone who advocates tolerance. Perhaps you were thinking of the word "sect"?) [ alpha's advice column | Ask alpha A Question ]
DruidX answered Wednesday March 17 2004, 8:19 am: Umm are you the same one that posted a simmilar question a while back? I really think you ought to direct your question at whomever specifically though that catholics aren't christian. The christian faith is made up os so very many 'cults', its hard to know the difference sometimes.
It was also my understanding that the catholics, as a group, where one of the least tolerant cults. [who is it hates gay preists? who was it burned Jone D'Ark? et al]
But you yourself sounds like a pretty tolerant person, so you go and live the life of 'peace, love, and understanding' :) [ DruidX's advice column | Ask DruidX A Question ]
PepeLePew answered Wednesday March 17 2004, 12:25 am: What do you mean you do not pray to the Virgin Mary? When i was little, i had to learn one that was directed to her.
a religion is a set of beliefs...and if that is what you are accepting, then why can't you accept the way people think? ignorant or not...we have feelings too. [ PepeLePew's advice column | Ask PepeLePew A Question ]
