-- I would appreciate you showing which statement I made decrying Catholics' "lack of openess about Catholicism." I would also ask what in the world the current number of Catholics in the world have in refuting someone making that statement?

"They asked Jesus for mercy and suggested the pigs and Jesus gave them permission to enter them." - Aspen -- If you (honestly) take a step back you will see you are comparing humans who have died in their sin and demons. Apples to oranges. "There are a few words that are only used to...

-- Still waiting on a reply to this Selene. I have laid it out here very simply. Please respond in kind.
