That is bunk. Catholicism KNOWS it is but one interpretation of Christianity. Does it believe it is the TRUE faith? OF COURSE! But that doesn't mean it doesn't acknowledge the existence of the other Christian sects. Comparing religion to science is also BS. Science is a search for an attainable truth. Religion is not. In religion, at some point, you have to throw up your hands and say "you know, this is what I believe....simply because I do." -- Happy Christmas you arse, I pray God it's our last. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
