Here's the thing. Im catholic and there are a lot of things Id like to say, but for some reason, I hate debating on forums, cause I hate having to type long sentences and paragraphs.
So, Im gonna be short and blunt, lol:
@mrstickball - protestants have killd plenty of catholics in history. It goes both ways. The whole poverty/religion thing has to do with a lot of different issues, so for you to say that my religion is bad because the countries where it is the majority is simplistic and wrong. Not to mention that for hundreds of years, the powerful Europe was completely catholic.
@Kaz - Thanks you for saying some of the things. there are a lot of misconceptions about the Church. Specially when it comes to science. I know youd still say its bad overall cause you are not catholic, but it nice to see you are not falling prey to some of these misconceptions.
Damn, this is getting long. 
To simplify, I will say this - You are all talking about a 2000 year old organization that was led by imperfect people.
Do you really expect that it would not have blemishes in its past?
However, we also have thousands upond thousands of people who did just the opposite.
Look at development of science, medicine, philosophy, society that came with The Catholic Church.
Much of our judicial and moral system is based on catholic values. Life is sacred (human rights), right of property, charity, etc.
Im gonna stop cause Im doing what I said I wouldnt.
So, please dony answer this or I will have to do this again, and i dont want to, lol.
PS - @badgenome - While I disagree with a lot of things with Christopher Hitchens, yes, he is one amazing debater. A lot better than Dawkins.
