Eucharist is a "Death Cookie"?

Especially in Lent, it would be great if Christians could stop sniping at each other or spreading false information and perceptions about each other.

Two Baptist church pamphlets are causing controversy with a Roman Catholic church in Pigeon Forge.

The pamphlet suggests the Roman Catholic church isn’t Christian and the pope is an anti-Christ.

While some people say the pamphlet expresses religious freedom, others say it’s a hate crime.

Father Jay Flaherty, of Holy Cross Catholic Church, said he first learned about the pamphlets when one of his youth brought one to him.

“There’s two of them that really upset me because I knew it would upset the children,” Father Flaherty said. “One’s called the ‘Death Cookie,’ which claims that our communion is from the devil.”

The other pamphlet, titled “Last Rites,” shows cartoon drawings of a Roman Catholic man who isn’t saved because he didn’t accept Christ.

I for one am getting really tired of hearing that Catholics are not Christians, and that we’re unsaved idolators -the ignorant message spread from the lips of seriously misinformed people who have not the charity, it seems, to ask for information and clarification, before spreading cruel slander.

It wouldn’t take much, you know. A “pastor” just has to call up his local Catholic church and ask them, “hey, is this true, or not?”

Christ, of course, is bigger than this kerfluffle, and will do what He will, but I feel terrible for my many very dear (and very fine) Baptist friends, who know better than this “pastor” and yet will be lumped in with him and his ilk, and unjustly caricatured as intolerant ignoramuses because of these stupid, brain-dead (and poorly-drawn, to boot) cartoons.
