[QUOTE="bucky, post: 1276352, member: 10588"] Hope you're right in the first paragraph there. Before I met my wife I was very down on the RCC. Then I started attending mass with her in her country, met a lot of good people and priests, and ultimately got a great wife who was a virgin when I met her, so my opinion of the church got a lot better. Now that I've seen the state of the church in the US, my opinion is somewhat has taken a nosedive again, although I try to remind myself of the good I saw in Central America. As to the RCC being "God's church" I've lately begun to suspect that the Orthodox have it right, in the sense that different religions are right for different ethnicities. That is the RCC for southern Europeans, Irishmen, and Latin Americans, the various Orthodox churches for their respective nationalities (Russian, Greek, Egyptian, etc), Protestantism for northern Europeans, Islam for Arabs, Turks, and Persians, and so on.
