For example, <A HREF="http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_20070611/ai_n19289988/pg_3" REL="nofollow">this article</A> that documents their differences.

Liberal (if you like) in our support for social justice with the poor, the disabled, the vulnerable and so on, throughout the world, as well as on our doorstep. <BR/>And although we must fight the good fight (NON-violence) in terms of persuading others why Christianity is the true religion we must also do so in a way that doesn't lead to violence / unrest.<BR/>Catholics may even have to die for their faith, at times, but we must persuade others that our faith is one of peace, of civilized values - of (divine) Love.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848192319136614876noreply@blogger.com
