Thank you Artimis!! Fred I would just like you to know that I am a Catholic. I believe I went over that in my post to you. The reason I did not post any more is that you were so wrong I didn't know where to begin.
On the Mary issue. Catholics do not see Mary as an equal to Jesus Christ. In our prayers we do not pray directly to Mary, but we ask her to pray for and with us. We ask for her help, and for a lack of a better phrase, to put a good word in for us.
About other religions. We DO NOT condem them to hell. We recognize their differnces, and, since we are all children of God, do not judge them. We do not agree with their decision, but God, in the end, will decide what shall be done with all his children.
I'll be the first to admit that eventhough I have had a great deal of religion in my past, I do not know as much as I think I should. I do however know these two things to be true. If there is any Catholic who would like to add to my opinion please feel free.
