Phazzan Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I'm sure if we judged every Catholic the same way you's do John Kerry those numbers would be a lot less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggamafu Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 [quote name='Phazzan' date='Aug 28 2004, 10:44 AM'] I'm sure if we judged every Catholic the same way you's do John Kerry those numbers would be a lot less. [/quote] Aye. I agree. How many of those people are practicing Catholics with a living faith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelFilo Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Sadly, not as many as there should be. You sign up with a parish, and so technically you belong, even if you fall away, or neglect your Faith. God bless, Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
