No doubt there are areas of more strict standards, some of which I feel are/were overdone. Fla Dem Apr 9 #14

Practicing Catholics? He makes that distinction? maxsolomon Apr 9 #62

Maybe that is true now. I am Catholic and when I married my husband, a Methodist, in 1979, neither he nor his family debm55 Apr 9 #11

No some things don't change. Fla Dem Apr 9 #31

The priest makes it clear we are not welcome to come up NutmegYankee Apr 9 #37

But Catholics recognize Protestants as Christians. That's the point. shrike3 Apr 9 #88

It is a historical "slur" and line of attack against the so-called Papists. hlthe2b Apr 9 #2

Interesting. Would not think such diminishing of another religion would survive centuries. Fla Dem Apr 9 #9
