Apparently you can’t read. I have never bashed catholicism, and I resent people like yourself accusing me of doing so. I understand we don’t all agree on everything, but you do not see me condemning catholics the way others do on here, and I do not see every catholic condemning protestants on here like you do. I have simply come back at your hateful and spiteful statements.

Then show me the exact paragraph in what it says. My source is from the Christian Resource. Now, show me.
I haven’t been following the thread, but I looked into the numbers are here’s what I came up with. According to the Vatican (I searched vatican.va for the original source, but I haven’t found it yet), the number of Catholics in the world seems o be around 1.13-1.31 billion (1.13 looks to be the most accurate figure I could find):

thats why there are systems in catholicism to resolve disputes. neatly organized cogs and gears, that while they may be slow, work. then luther throws a wrench of so called reform into the whole works.
he was just saying that molestation is a problem in all religions and countries and places. ok? and preists dont have to do with the faith in that they dont change it, they preach it.
ive read that in a school book. its a simple fact, really.
