Is it true the Vatican has hidden historical texts?

[Gabriel Syme]

Nothing compared to the claim catholics make, that a god exists

You are entirely at liberty to feel differently (your loss! haha).

Anyway, the main reason for my responding to you was to give kudos for your signature quote from the film "Waterloo" ("hard pounding gentlemen.....") - a great quote from a great movie.

So we are in the same place on films, at least, if not God!

This comes from a Chick Tract. Once you research and learn what a Chick Tract is you should feel pretty foolish for trotting this out as an example of the general population's misunderstanding of Catholicism.

Hi cato123,

I know well what a chic tract is, thank you.

I do not feel foolish however, as many peoples understanding / view of Catholicism is based on such rubbish.

Well, its either based on tracts, or on stand-up comedy, or on media reporting which obsesses about catholic abuse cases while ignoring all others.

I have never met a secular or athiest person who was even remotely well informed about Catholicism, or had given any of its stances a fair crack of the whip with their analysis.

Instead, most people are happy to dismiss us with a sneer and and ill-informed jibe about crusades, or the inquisition or something else from the distant past, of which they know little.

The reason this sneering is so popular, is because its a lot easier than trying to deny the truth.

Take it easy
