What's wrong with Catholics?
Teen, you seem to want to really have a go at Catholics. Care to share? Have you read The Jerusalem Bible? Do you know how it differs from the KJV? Can you point to specific, deliberate errors in it due to the translator being a paedophile? Oh and before you reply, consider that it's a Roman Catholic you're replying to!
Why oh why oh why do some people think that ONLY their particular sect of Christianity will be saved? As far as I'm concerned EVERY person who believes that Christ died for their sins will be saved, even if they believe that they have to pray standing with their left foot in a bucket of cold porridge.
I have to say that I'm of the opinion that the KJV is one of the worst because James interfered with the translation process in order to get as much as possible in about persecuting witches - he was pathologically afraid of witchcraft. As for the 50-odd translators, well that doesn't really mean anything. You know what they say - a camel is a racehorse designed by committee.

Re: What's wrong with Catholics?
The Roman Catholic Chruch is much changed from the days when it condemned everyone who was not a Catholic. For example, when anyone wishes to join the Catholic church they must be baptised first. My baptism as a baby was within the Protestant Church of Scotland - this was fine and I didn't need re-baptised. There are ecumenical services all the time in my area where all the different churches, including the Catholic church get together for joint worship. Every now and again, someone will get up and walk out if they think that something said is too "papish" or too "orange", but they're just bigots. The area I come from has been blighted for years by sectarianism imported from Northern Ireland. It's not the Churches which have the problem with other faiths, it's some of their adherents.
