#1 On the other hand, Catholics recognize that the Church is the spiritual Israel or, in Catholic parlance, the “new Israel,”

GaWD don't give a shit. There is only one Israel.

#2 ^Now, now, Dron - don't be like this. Catholic Church is useful.
I remember I was hassled By Jehovah's Witnesses once - when I was living in Los Alamos: they caught me using laundromat, so I couldn't just walk away.
I'm telling them "I'm a Jew, leave me alone!" They "Our message is for the Jews too." I was about to explode, when a friend came by "Remember, you promised to drive me to Mass, because my car is broken." They disappeared like fading into the air.

#3 Well, they're all a rather diminutive lot, all denominations, where I live. They all come under one umbrella of 'Christian minority' and have to stick together mostly. Catholics here are the shits who find themselves always allied with moslems or commies. Only in India though. Strange I know.

#4 On can say the Indian catholic is totally unlike other catholics. He is a convert of necessity, with more loyalty to mammon than God. Mired in leftist politics and would sell out his country for a chance to go 'serve' in the Vatican, or just be given a pat on the head from some European cardinal.

Neh, look at Latin America where the Catholic Church and the Left are joined seamlessly.

So they are all religious diminuations?
India is a fascinating place.
