I Smell a Rat

To appreciate either an attitude or a schism within the Catholic Church is this book published by the Catholic Press entitled "Inside Islam: A Guide of Catholics" page 16:

Islam itself is an incomplete, misleading, and often downright false revelation which, in many ways, directly contradicts what God has revealed through the prophets of the Old Testament and through His Son Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh. And, as you will see in the coming pages, its beliefs have serious consequences for human dignity and the cultures of the countries in which it dominates. For several reasons, Islam constitutes a threat to the world at large. Despite having agreement with Christianity on some fundamental beliefs, Islam's theology and its aggressive growth are not benign realities. Indeed, Christians ignore them at their own peril.

Does this sound like a religion advancing the principles of their god ... or one that justifies a Spanish Inquisition?

What makes a better Catholic? One that ignores many Catholic Church teachings (and other organized religions) so they may form a stronger relationship between themselves and their god. One that also condemns that Church for ignoring and attacking “Voices of the Faithful”.

Organized religion is nothing more than a consultant. It may become so perverted as to insist that, without their advice, then you will burn in hell. Organized religion often forgets that it is only a consultant - not god's personal adviser, receptionist, armed protector, and the only one who knows what god thinks. Notice hate of Islam as published by the Catholic Press. This publication is not an accident. Actions are consistent with a religion that knows about and that would hide its employees at the expense of sexually abused children. And these atrocities are not limited to one organized religion. Nobody expects a Spanish Inquisition which is why organized religions may become guilty of same. Too often, organized religion violates basic principles of quality - they forget who they work for.
