It is difficult to be a Catholic, and that is why it is hated.

To be Catholic is to:
- be open to children
- confess your sins to a priest regularly
- to be against divorce
- to be sexually pure

All of that is inconvenient to our modern culture.

I'll bet anything that if some people on this forum were to be open and personal (which I don't expect), it's the Catholic stance on divorce and birth control that make them not want to even consider it.

Catholicism = Jesus Christ + NOTHING
Non-Catholic Christianity = Jesus Christ - LOTS
