Well, I'm a former catholic. Does that mean that all I was taught as a catholic was just rumors? The typical responds that I get from catholics are, "you must have went to the wrong church." OR, "you must have not understood what they were teaching."
Yet, when I list the catholic doctrine here on Yahoo Answers, even from catholic websites and books, I'm given a thumbs down because of a "rumor"? If you were in the catholic church when I was and have been to some of the catholic churches I have been to around the world, you would see things from a different perspective.
That is why I have said so many, many times: You people are just an American version of a catholic. You people have no idea what it means to be a fundamental catholic. You have no idea who or what the catholic church really is. And when someone tells you, you just blow it off as nothing more than hate. Therefore claiming in your own mine that we are just lying to you--even what we show you from vatican's own websites. AS it states in the Word of God, if you don't believe the living, bring someone back from the dead is not going to make any different to you either. Maybe you just don't want to admit you have been played for a fool by the vatican. We that have left it are willing to admit it.
BTY: www.chick.com is not the only website that has the type of information on it. And most of the information is written by former catholics. But base on what you people tell yourselves, we/they had nothing better to do with their lives than to write hate mail about the vatican. Now, who's kidding whom? What you are indeed saying is that you were an eye witness to some of these events that many of the former catholics have written about to know whether or not they were true. So, go figure. Like the issue with Hilter and the vatican....and your nazi boy that is now pope. Are you so naive to actually think that it's just a coincidence that he became pope?
Is it any coincidence that your German pope is still referred to by his colleagues as "Der Panzerkardinal?"
Hilter was once quoted saying that Christ Jesus can not be the Saviour of the world because he was/is a Jew. Is it any wonder why mama has claimed for who knows how long that Mary is the saviour of the world? Just another "rumor" or coincidence?...
My advise is, get out why you still can! One day, you will wish that you did!

Maybe, but I can't speak for other fundies. However, as for me, I only judge Catholics by those I know and my own experience with the Church.
My dad's family is Catholic, my in-laws are catholic, I attended Catholic School, I have been to hundreds of masses (I attend up to 3 on Christmas in addition to my own church), I lived in a Catholic neighborhood, I watch EWTN when I get the chance, I have read the Church Fathers, etc...
So, I don't need Chick Tracks to form my opinions. In fact, I didn't even know what one was until Everyday told me about them this year...

Yes, but .....
This is true of everything nowadays - everything. News is never checked anymore and every news network has its own, well recognized bias.
This sucks for Catholics but also for everybody in some degree. Just look at the dialogues on 9/11, Iraq, climate change, the Federal Reserve bank, the Pope, televangelists, etc. The fact base behind dialogue is disappearing thanks to idiots believe everything they read on the web.

sadly, yes.
When the Pope approved a docuiment that clarified the Catholic Church's relations with other Christian groups, the news services reported that the document stated other Christian churches "were not true churches but merely ecclesial communities and therefore did not have the “means of salvation.”
Non-Catholics believed the news services without ever reading the document because the news reports supported their hatred and bigotry of Catholics. Unfortunately, the documet approved by the Vatican did not state what the news services claim.
Many Catholics posted links to the document and even copied and pasted the document and clearly showed that what the news services reported was false.
Many non-Catholics then apologized for jumping to conclusions, but the fact remains that they assumed the worst.

All non Catholic Christians worship Martin Luther and pray to him believing that he's the intercessor between guy and God. Martin Luther is ineffective and the Bible teaches that we are forbidden to wish to the ineffective. The Bible teaches very in any different case, subsequently non Catholic Christians do no longer persist with the Bible however the doctrines of adult adult males. those human beings have not have been given any awareness of the Bible ans persist with the doctrines of adult adult males and traditions fairly of the Bible. They persist with Joel Osteen fairly of Christ and have faith that he's infallible and impeccable as their chief. Their Church became surely began by using William Jefferson Clinton (Blythe) interior the late twentieth century and Hillary Clinton is their goddess. they are incredibly lost and are unsaved.

Bishop Fulton Sheen explained it best when he stated, "Many hate what they perceive of the Roman Catholic Faith, not the Truth of Roman Catholicism."
Sometimes former catholics are the worse of bigots. I believe their hate is caused by lack of understanding and knowledge. Many were never allowed to receive the true message of Jesus Christ within the Catholic Faith.
Investigate your fears. The Truth will set you free.
Praise be Jesus Christ now and forever.

Fundamentalist protestants are always willing to believe any rumor concerning Catholics because they are being brainwashed by their pastors. Anything negative about the Catholics is always welcome to them. Their reasons? It will boost their ego. It will increase their number. It will discredit the Catholic Church hierarchy. What a pity for them! They are being fooled and misled.

unfortunately I dont think its just fundamentalist...i think many protestants will believe anything because they are unwilling to take the time to look at the church. they wouldnt want to appear to be interested in the catholic faith.

Fundamentalists of any religion are willing to believe what they want while ignoring any evidence to the contrary. That's what makes them so dangerous
