Christian (Roman Catholic)
Has anyone else run into this?
This happens to me often. When someone asks me what church I go to, I answer Catholic. I have had so many respond, "I'm not Catholic, I'm Christian." Which, of course, gets them a lecture on Christian history from me.
But when I ask what religion someone is, far too many respond with denomination instead of the broader religion.
Yes, the ignorance of certain people is almost enough to take my breath away sometimes. To be a Christian, claim to know the first thing about the religion, and then imply, either through ignorance or prejudice, that Catholics aren't Christian is almost unbelievable.
I am a Christian, and a Catholic. Do I believe everything the church says, or agree with every stance the church has taken in the past? No. But I am a Catholic nonetheless.
