When I read your comment, I knew that all those who know nothing about Christianity - and in particular Catholicism - would come out of the woodwork and come up with all the clichés. A Christian has no idols, Christ is not an idol for him. The Catholic does not believe that the man of the cloth is anointed and must believe everything he says. I am a Catholic and often the Pope's words give me hives. On the other hand, I do not dispute the truth about the dogma of faith. But that's where it ends. For those who believe with that liar Voltaire that a Christian is a superstitious sheep, I invite them to read Dostoyevsky or Bernanos, they will find there more freedom and truth than they will ever find in all these authors of the so-called Enlightenment, these freethinkers who are rather ready-to-think, the precursors of the American propangandists.
