Okay, okay. Didn't mean to start a discussion about the nature of the
Catholic Church. Just meant that it's not what most people think of when you
say cult. They think of "drink the Kool-Aid", so on and so forth.

Hoi,
Dear Teun, I grew up in the mother church. When asked we would say that we
were catholic. From inside the church there is no credible outside because
they are not part of our community. As a little boy we did not play with
the
kids of the public primary school (their school was in front of our house).
Technically you may be right and I will only concede that because I do no
longer consider myself to be of the faith.
PS thank you for your wishes..
Thanks,
GerardM
