		<description><![CDATA[Dan, catholics are christians but not all christians are catholics.. Christian refers to believing in one god and believing that jesus christ is in fact, his son. Catholicism is a denomination of christianity, as are lutherns and methodists, ect, everyone who believes that principle is a christian. However, not all christians have exactly the same beliefs and that is where the different denominations come in.. For example, catholics believe that once the priest blesses the eucharist (bread and wine) that it truely is the flesh and blood of jesus, lutherns on the other hand just believe that it is just a symbol of the flesh and blood. Ha I was in catholic school my whole life and until the age of 18, attended every mass that is required by catholic church ruling (ash wednesday, good friday, stuff like that) so I can answer most questions about catholicism.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[the &#039;real presence&#039; is a complete lie and i can well believe the magicians term &#039;hocus-pocus&#039; is derived from the catholic liturgy. christ is raised up and is seated at the right hand of god so how can the catholics be eating of him? we partake of him in our being born-again by the spirit of god. incidentally another magicians phrase &#039;abracadabra&#039; has two meanings; from the aramaic language meaning &#039;to create as i say&#039; and also was used in reference to the polytheist &#039;trinity&#039;. its truly a fair reflection on a religion that until as late as 1960, banned its own members from actually reading the bible!!! it was quite literally &#039;as we the priests say it is, so shal it be&#039; and is to this very day!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi! I just want to make a gentle correction. Catholicism began in the 3rd century during Constantine&#039;s rule. There is nowhere in the Bible that condones or promotes the ornamentation or clergy-laity that is pervasive of Catholicism. In fact, churches in the New Testament were lay-led. This, not Catholicism, is not only the first church, but it is Biblically based and backed; therefore, it also is the true church. ]]></description>
