25. Actually, "catholic"

means... Of broad or liberal scope; comprehensive; Including or concerning all humankind; universal. To me, that's the small "c" catholic. I'm not a Catholic, but my sister is. I've learned a bit by osmosis from her. I've also been a seeker since I left home. We were raised in an evangelical family. I guess I've been the wide gamut of christian faiths. Too many didn't fit the mold that I've felt the path demanded. Like you, I felt christianity showed the way to treat people... and the earth... in the proper way. The christianists are the ones who've warped the faith all out of shape. If they're allowed to keep going, they're going to warp it so far out of shape that they will be the ones *defining* the faith, and I do believe that result was alluded to in the last part of Revelation. At that point, they may actually find out what it means to be a persecuted faith!
