Hi, Jim —

Thanks for your very intelligent questions.

It is pretty obvious that the Catholic Church doesn't need to waste it's time killing those who are already brain dead! I wouldn't worry about your personal safety in so far as the Church is concerned.

However, if I were you, I would file a lawsuit against the school system where you were educated. You have a very good case for malpractice!

God Bless,

John

Hi, Jim —

I couldn't agree more with what my colleague John has said.

I would only add that if Catholics appear to be a tool of Satan, it's because, like John implied,

• they never receive proper religious educational training, or
• they were never taught the faith correctly at home.
  
  (Attacking a straw church that doesn't exist, helps no one, including yourself!)

As Catholics, we shouldn't leave the Truth, that Jesus delegated to St. Peter and his successors to safeguard, because of Judas behavior in the Church.

As a Catholic Apologist, my biggest concern is that many misperceptions are generated because of this exact issue.

You have to separate scandalous Judas behavior in the Church from Divine Teachings which can never change.

For those who have been emotionally hurt by a priest or lay Catholic, I apologize for the Church, but this bad behavior by any group of people shouldn't obscure your quest for the one Church that has the total truth: the Catholic Church.
