Sigh,

Frankly, this post is non-sense and just a little research would have shown it, but I guess that's why it's in "Paranoia" instead of "Philosophy".

Just a few points:

-The Catholic Church doesn't demand you give up friends who aren't Catholic or marry Catholic. You DO have to promise to raise your kids Catholic.

-The Church officially recognizes evolution as the vehicle that God used to create man. It does NOT preach creationism.

-I don't recall ever being told as a youth I might have to sacrifice my life for the Catholic Church.


Anyway, I guess it's easy to spread lies and half truths. After all, that's how bigotry usually starts.
