Better check the scripture on that one

Drama, drama, and a little more drama. I'm gettin a little tired of drama. My time in Chicago is slowlly winding down. But it seems a whole new list of challenges are ahead. My roomate has been having some trouble recently. Her sister convert to Catholicism earlier this year and you guessed it, in her Church of Christ home that has started, bunch drama. (Can't believe I used that.) Her family is very disturbed by the fact that one of their daughters has turned from Christianity. I just want to do a little history lesson. Now please don't start a heated debate with me because yes, I am ignorant on most of the details of Catholic History, but I do now that Christ chose a disciple to build the Church. Slowly over time, that disciple built the Catholic Church. You see, Catholics, are in fact, Christians. I know this may be hard to hear for a lot of people like my roomate's family, but the truth of the matter is that Catholics are Christians. This is a big misconception because most people think that Catholics are just a bunch of "Mary-worshippers" and they fail to realize that we are Protestants. You see, prostestants are Christians... and Catholics were Christians. In fact we were all Catholic until the leaders of the Catholic church went a little crazy and said that only certain people can read the Bible. Hence, we protested that (protestants) and started our own division of Christianity. Now you may say, "well there it is, they had stuff all wrong!" Well yes and no, they are very different in their practices of how they pray and bring praise to God. But My church in loveland has a lot more in common with a catholic mass than it does with some of the Protestant churches here in Chicago! So who's got it wrong? Yes, I don't agree with some things the Catholic Church does. And there are plenty of people in the Church of Christ group that would love to tell Catholics that they are going to Hell because they don't get baptized right because Christ said we need to be baptized. I also know that he told the rich to sell all they owned and give it to the poor if they wanted to get to heaven. How wealthy would YOU consider yourself? Just ask yourself if you have a car, Then think about the fact that over a billion people in this world live on less than $1 a day. hmmm. Scary thought. I'd better check the scripture on that one.
