By "RC" I am assuming that you are Roman Catholic, although I have not heard that term used in the US lately. I am Catholic as well. I'm glad that all these Catholics are SO accepting of Evangelical Christian chuches - and Sarah Palin - because the feeling is NOT always mutual! One recent story - my child had to learn a certain prayer with which I was unfamilair for religious ed class. She had either lost or forgot to bring home her copy, so at the last minute, I was struggling to find the words to the prayer. I went into what I thought was a religious book store and after looking around a little, asked the young lady behind the counter if they carried any Catholic books of prayer. She looked down her nose at me as if I were a bug, and said, very loudly, "We only carry CHRISTIAN books here, not Catholic!" Well, I burst out laughing at her haughty and uninformed act and left the store. I imagine that is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm sure that since we are not "saved" as Sarah obviously felt she needed to be from her Catholic upbringing, we are lumped into that group who will see eternal damnation, no matter how many 6:30 AM Requiem Masses (IN LATIN) you sang in your younger days. I'm just saying...be careful in whom you put your faith these days. They're not looking at YOU the same way.
