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.

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

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