re: South LA is a Catholic Heavy Area...Besides the LP. Why so?

Suggesting that even a measureable percentage of protestants can be exemplified by the free speech alley protestors is akin to suggesting that all Catholics blow up abortion clinics. There are fringe groups in every subculture and fringe groups don't define any of them.
Hence why I have the "I realize all protestants aren't like these loons" in parenthesis. But protestants do preach in a "they're all heathens" sort of way quite often. It's not Catholics who try to enforce drinking laws and such on the rest of the population.

The Catholic Church has a rich and colorful history of corruption
The Catholic Church definitely has a history of corruption, not saying it doesn't. But so would any religion. The difference with say a Baptist church is that there is not central "governing" body to the church. Or when a Evangelical TV personality is found embezzling money and boning his secretary, it isn't an indictment on Christianity in general, because he's not really associated with anyone else's church the way Catholic churches all tie back to the Vatican.
And the King James Bible was definitely molded out of what the protestants felt the Bible should reflect. They dropped books from the Bible (which I personally don't care about especially when it's Old Testament). But when you say you are more "true" to the Bible, but change the Bible, it's a moot point.

Catholicism holds on to many traditions and dogma that make no sense
So does any religion, such as Southern Baptists not drinking.

The KKK is heavy in LP. They don't like the chosen people.

Maybe in 1958. The KKK isn't "heavy" anywhere any more.

Great post.
The in your face fire and brimstone people who taught hate when I was a kid pretty much forced me away from religion for 15 years.
Choose whatever religion you want, but use it to do good in this world, not to spread ignorance and to look down on others.

Not what it used to be like in the 80's.
Hear more about St. Amant area than LP now.

It hasn't been active in LP since the 80's I bet.
LP used to be a damn racist place, but it's not near as bad.

We had an entire marriage ceremony in a Catholic Church.....they never asked for any money.

I worked a fair in maybe 95 and they were in their robes walking the gate. Don't tell me it doesn't exist. I have fricking seen it.

This is another thing about the Catholic church that gets me. Yes there are money issues (I was married in a Church and they did ask for money...... a lot of money haha). But it's a problem not limited to Catholicism.
I was picking up a pizza back when I lived in LA and overheard what I thought was a hilarious conversation. A man and a woman start talking about how they recognize each other from the church they just went to. Guy says he's just visiting to see how many people attended, he was thinking about opening up his own church and wanted to see if it was worth it there. I see him get into his LTZ Avalanche and drive off. You had to hear it, but it was definitely a "business" decision for him to see if he could get enough of a congregation to make a living off of it. He wasn't from the area, but knew there was a shortage of non-Catholic churches. I know that's not everyone, but just pointing out that you can find that anywhere.
And I'm arguing for Catholicism here, but if you were to see me when I'm at home with my parents, I argue against the Catholic Church just as much.

You haven't looked hard enough or only associate with Denham Springs. They definitely aren't as active now but we're still very prevent in the 80's

They are insecure cause they know their church isn't a real one
For real though. I get a good chuckle on Sundays when I see them worshiping in a building where I used to buy my groceries.
To me a church just isn't a church unless its purpose built.

Sure Germany was largely Catholic, before Luther's Reformation in the 1400s - long before the 30 years war and the flight out of Europe.

Northern Germany. Southern Germany and Austria are very much Catholic.

The Jews are blinded despite the Old Testament having Christ all over it (One example is isaigh 53) But they will come back in the end.
No, the OT does NOT have Jesus all over it. This is simply false. Isaiah 53, the suffering servant, was never contemplated as the messiah. Christians applied it retroactively after Jesus was killed.
I mean think about it. The OT is huge. It's 2/3 of the bible. And in the Torah, God often speaks directly and in detail about what he expects from the Jews. Later on, the prophets speak at length about repentance and te hope for a messiah. Never once is Jesus mentioned. Not once. You might get an Immanuel here or there, or a story verse that when read out of context seems to apply to Jesus, but nothing direct. For being the messiah, of such utmost importance, remarkably little is said in the OT. There's a good reason Jews didn't recognize Jesus as the messiah--Bc centuries of prophesies and traditions said nothing about a messiah who would be killed.
