Me dear old Irish granny would be ashamed to hear you say that. She
claimed I was never Catholic, but rather a wild heathen that got dragged
into the church regularly while still small enough.

young, but still remembers the screwed up views.

IMHO the problem with the Catholic church is the same problem as with
most churches... hypocracy. The main message is beautiful but the
application is all greed & power.

OTOH unlike most other Christian church officials, the Pope will still
wash the feet of a beggar.


... Our church is all
about love , giving, sharing, human kindness, etc..


It's a shining example to others, then!
