I agree with Rudey...why attack someone because they are presenting the facts of the faith as they are? There are plenty of people who claim to be whatever religion and don't follow all of the teachings...not just Catholics, and are they really being true to that faith? I don't think so. I don't think Beryana is acting holier than thou, I think a lot of people have their panties in a bunch because what she pointed out is correct. You can't just pick and choose what you believe when you claim to be of a certain faith.
Would anyone order bacon and eggs or a cheeseburger if sitting next to the rabbi at brunch or lunch? I realize it's an extreme example, but you get the picture. If you're only going to "practice" when going to mass, services, temple, whatever then it seems a bit hippocritical.
It is also hippocritical to criticize people for having strength in their convictions, no matter what they are. Peace be with you all.
