Hi Marlon, I was speaking out of practical experience. When I was approached by the Geelong Revival Group, which has a presence in Goa, as I understand, I was told that I would be cured of my skin ailment, psoriasis. In course of conversation with the people, they called the Pope names and said a lot about what they thought of the Catholics. This, of course made me think twice.
Equally so, there are papers and editorials which try to defame the Catholic Church both in Melbourne and elsewhere in the world. I could say a lot about the good works performed here and elsewhere, but then again I would again be accused of "superiority". These statements of mine in no way claim any "superiority" of the Catholics over other Christians, or indeed, believers of other religions. The statements were made because many people equate Protestants and other Christian cults with Catholics, and then accuse the Pope and Catholics for the behaviour of the aggressive Christian groups. One such instance was burning the Church of St John the Baptist (Catholic) some years ago, mistaking it for a Baptist (Protestant) church. Regards, Gabriel
