The Catholics need to address this already. I feel the first step is to stop lumping themselves under this Christian banner. That smacks of Protestantism to me. Besides, I think its a political construct. I thought I heard some where that the Pope tells or has told to stay out of politics.

And this whole work ethic and having wealth meaning one is favored by god thing? That is totally some messed up Protestant thinking with their predeterministism and all...

Personally, I'd be considered a heathen by Catholic standards and forever denied the presence of El/Elohim/YHVH for the unpardonable sin. So what the Attis Dionysus Osiris Krishna Mithra Zoroaster Jesus followers do to one another I don't care about. It's just when it bleeds over to the rest of us that it's an issue. And I do know that it was a lot easier getting things like civil rights, women's rights and making a the nation a lot more progressive back when all those weird sects and cults were not so buddy buddy.

*winks*

I know... I'm a biiiiig neeeerd...

You just can't get a good crusade when you need one.

Agreed. We need to out the Protestants as heretics and make them stop calling themselves Christians.

True, and this is an EXCELLENT reason for the Pope to call a Crusade!

On a serious note, yes, that's pretty much the whole thing behind the prosperity gospel.
