It was a hard-learned lesson for me to keep my Catholic upbringing quiet.

They would prefer nearly anyone to a Catholic.

I never considered being Catholic to be the same thing as being Christian and I still don't. Protestantism is Christianity, Catholicism is something else.

Well, that’s because you’re an idiot.

Even Protestants in my area, who I know, don't think Catholicism is Christianity. It isn't Christianity.

Believers in the Flying Spaghetti Monster had a similar falling-out so now there's a New Reformed Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Which makes those Protestants idiots. No wonder you get on so well.

Why would Christians look to the Pope for guidance? Does that make sense to you?

Quoting the Bible again. The Bible is not a reliable source of information.

You keep asking questions that begin "Why do Christians..." and when I quote from their own holy book you think it's irrelevant.
