Candace Owens and Catholicism

I've quoted Candace Owens quite a bit lately because she's said a lot of important things related to Charlie Kirk's assassination. As I've said before I don't agree with Candace Owens about everything but I support her right to hold and express her opinion. She is a very strong voice for good. 

As most people know Candace has converted to the Catholic faith. When I first heard that I thought that's nice. Her husband is Catholic so now they can attend church together. 

I know a lot of Catholics and they're all good people. When I was in Northern Ireland is was hard for me to not take sides because I supported the Catholic's desire to be free. I found Ian Paisley's Free Presbyterians very intolerant. 

In fact the flag for the Republic of Ireland is green, white and orange. Green represents the Irish Catholics. Orange represents the Protestants and white represented peace between the two. That's the flag Ian Paisley would burn and shout Ulster says No. 

They would complain Catholics say set prayers, Catholics pray to statues, Catholics this and that. I didn't have a problem with any of that. There's a lot worse things people could be doing. Statues remind us of God and heavenly pursuits. 

Some Christians won't even have a picture of Christ in their home. I find that extreme. Some won't celebrate Christmas. I think that's weird. Nevertheless I did hear Candace make a comment saying that Charlie Kirk was considering converting to Catholicism. To me, that simply doesn't matter. If he did or didn't that would be his choice. It would sure ruffle a few feathers. 

I also saw a post where someone said they were considering converting to the Catholic faith and Candace said she would pray for them and I was like OK hold on a sec. Let's not get carried away here. There was a reason for the Protestant Reformation. Historically the Catholic church has taught and done some very bad things. 

The Catholic church has never taught that sexual abuse was OK. Yet the prevalence of sexual abuse among Catholic priests has been abominable. At one time the Catholic church taught about Indulgences. If you paid money you could be forgiven of certain sins. That was kind of abominable. 

I'm not going to trash the Catholic church. I'm just going to say that although I love Catholics, I don't agree with all the teachings of the Catholic church. I will also once again emphasize that my primary concern is the idea of adapting the Catholic faith or any other single religion as the Sate Religion. That is a very bad idea that would completely contradict the US Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights. 

Adapting a State religion is a stepping stone to abolishing all religion. First you abolish all religions but one. Then you abolish that one religion and there you have it. A Marxist Leninist State.
