Fortunately, a knowledgeable Catholic eventually got on board and shut everyone else down.

Someone claimed Catholics aren't Christians. I told the guy that he had it backwards: Christians aren't Catholics. He said I haven't studied logic. Big mistake on his part!

Meanwhile, a bunch of others joined in. The most interesting conversation was probably the one claiming that Catholics are idolaters since they pray to Mary and saints. This is a bunch of hooey since Catholics don't WORSHIP Mary and saints, they simply ask 'em for help in praying to God. When I asked these guys why praying to saints and Mary is supposedly a problem, they said the Bible says we can only pray to God. I asked where it says that and, oddly enough, not one of them could tell me. Someone eventually said, "well, it's inferred." Then I pointed out that prayer is a means of communication, and there is no prohibition against prayer in the Bible. It is WORSHIP that is restricted to God. By now we must have had 15 people in the thread and it was getting ugly.

Fortunately, a knowledgeable Catholic eventually got on board and shut everyone else down.

It's NEVER a good idea to claim expertise about a religion that ain't your own. That's my thinking, anyway.
