Care to provide proof that the church even owns the building you're referring to?

An anecdote: In my hometown Protestant churches send people seeking financial help (say money to buy a prescription) to our parish (instead of helping them themselves). They tell them: "Go to St. John's, they help everybody, even non Catholics."

Or do you really think that John Paul II helped bring down the Iron Curtain by sipping margaritas at Castel Gandolfo? He had a grinding schedule every day, which he kept up until the day he could no longer physically carry on.

Who needed the United Nations when we have a Pope in the Vatican.

I was always fond of Elizabeth Dole but she has probably passed her prime to make a good run at it. Clinton and Rice are too polarizing. It is anybody's game right now.
Originally Posted By fkurucz ^^I have often wondered why Fundamental and Envangelical Protestants are so averse to Mormons, much more so than they are against other non mainstream denominations. A conclusion that I came up with has to do with the Mormon introduction of new scripture (The Book of Mormon, etc.). Since as a group they are Sola Scriptura (Bible alone) the idea of a new "bible" was too much of an affront to them. And I will admit that this difference is a major stumbling block towards any form of reconciliation between LDS and mainstream Christianity. It is difficult to dialog because not only is doctrine radically different but the two religions have vastly different reference points as their cornerstones. Many times shared terminology has radically different meanings such as the word Sacrament, which I find odd that the Mormons even use, as it is a term created by the Catholic Church. The Greek Church does not used the word Sacrament and instead refers to the sacraments as the Holy Mysteries, which makes sense (why would Greeks use latin words?). Many Protestant even deny that there are Sacraments and insist that they are a Catholic invention.

The religion part is where I part ways with them however. I just don't buy it. Many Mormons I know don't buy it either but go to the church because it gives them stability and structure. Regardless, I would vote for Mitt Romney because he is a solid conservative with good ideas and he has a grasp on national security issues. George Allen is my main man...so now you libs know who to really hate.
