have ever actually been to mass or talked to a priest or even tried to understand what we do?

As a Catholic myself I really respect the devotion that Protestants have for the word of God,but how many times do some of them use that same word to despise Catholics and the Pope?
You know some of the worst offenders can only be likened to the Pharisees of old, who thought that to be totally right, everyone else had to be totally wrong.
You rarely hear of the Catholic church or indeed ordinary Catholics doing this holier than thou bashing, it seems to a lot of these people that Catholics like Atheists, are Hell bound.
I suggest like yourself to these people that they at least read and study the catechism of the Catholic church and then at least we could have adult discussion about our differences and not have biased and veiled comments on here ,you know the old adage really holds true,`a little knowledge can be dangerous`

I don't scream out at people that are in the Catholic church, but if they ask, I will tell them why I can't agree with what they believe.
I once had a girlfriend that was an ex-Catholic, my pastor's wife is an ex-Catholic (btw she says nothing derogatory about Catholics) and for about 7 years I had a boss that was Catholic. I also have a book by a man that was a Catholic for 47 years then became Pentecostal.

yes I have been to several services I do not think I scream out against it but know it terned my son against the church after he was forced into doing his first comunion by his fathers catholic family. I admit I do not fully understand it but when I hear catholics say they are the only true christians it is natural to respond they are lost as I beleive few are saved 'born of the spirit' which Jesus said was essential in John 3 '' you must be born again''

I've seen Catholics attack over and over the Christians but we're worshiping the same God aren't we? I am a Catholic and my sister is Christian and i want to become Christian but I don't see the need to attack each other. Have you tried to understand what the Christians do? I go where I feel the love of it all and God is Love so technically I go where God goes.

Yes I do.I have questioned many of the practices and rituals.I have questioned about novenas and adorations as well as the most funniest "confessions".People never dare to question what they do.Because people are afraid of gods' wrath as well as ostracization by the so called christian communitty.

no because people would rather be ignorant and make up rumors and point fingers then try to understand poeple. I am catholic and am sick of dealing with the stupid people.

Yes, Catholics that I know, know a lot about the Catholic church, but very little about the Bible.

Yes and I can't believe that i have to wait till I die to get the answers to simple questions like Who is God? Why do we grow old and die? What is the purpose of life? Where are the dead? Does God really care?........questions that they say can't be answered right now...........
