[Apologetics] WorldNetDaily: anti-Catholic article

Instead of studying for my exams, I've been looking at the Catholic Answer forum, and came across a rather nasty article in WorldNetDaily, on which I've found some nice articles before.

I've posted a short commentary on it on my blog ... see the blog for the full thing.

WorldNetDaily.com has given James Rutz, chairman of Megashift Ministries, a free hand to proclaim his version of the truth, which appears to be very similar to that of Jack Chick.  His article is filled with the usual anti-Catholic propaganda, and doesn't seem to deal much in facts or accurate statistics; nor does he seem interested in substantiating his claims.

"On the downside, Catholics still persecute Protestants worldwide much more than vice versa, they don't know their Bibles as well, and they are far more apt to have a syncretistic faith mixed with native religions. As a result, their annual growth rate (1.24 percent) barely keeps up with world growth as a whole. In fact, on any given Sunday in Latin America, you'll now find more Protestants in church than Catholics. The typical Catholic is also less likely to be a born-again Christian. If "born-again" confuses you, it means someone who, meeting a cement truck head-on, would go to Heaven instead of Hell."
