I really love it when the Catholic Church talks about distortion of facts by "evil" people and how we should all pray for them. What about 2000 years of distortion by the Church. Let's talk about an "evil" Pope who made Mary Magdalene to be a prostitute when we now know that if the ministry of Jesus existed, she probably was a rich patron who played a dominant role. What about Gospels that existed alongside the four that we know off, like the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Judas which never saw the light of day because they didn't fit in with their theology. What about scrolls found at Nag Hamadi written by Gnostics, a sect of Christianity probably persecuted and driven to extinction by mainstream Christians of the time. What about centuries of manipulation of theology by Popes and Bishops and Cardinals that conveniently created Virgin births and Holy Spirits to explain away loopholes in the gospels.
RESPONSE: Madam, I am taken aback by your post but more importantly by the lack of response by the defender of faith...perhaps he has succumbed to your charms, or is seriously courting you, for future moral support reasons. Perhaps it is the writers he has problems with and not the content. He takes issue with certain posters: George, Santosh, Mervyn, Jose and Gabe. It seems that content does not matter, if presnted by the so called gentler sex! Both Nasci Caldeira and Joseph Fernandes, can now reflect on their misplaced trust in the waverer!
