The Never Ending Pool

rc...I have a friend I grew up with, who was a atheist that found Jesus on his own. He wrote a book about it, in which he said some anti-Catholic things. Particular that Scripture tells us; Catholics are the beast that is often mentioned Bible.

When he first got saved 35 years ago, I told him it was the Catholic Church who is responsible for the Bible as we know it. Now if the Catholic Church is the the beast don't you think they would have hidden that fact ?

At Christmas time, I promised him I would write him a letter but didn't tell him it was to critique his book. How can I tell him in a kind way, his thinking is off base.

One more thing: I remember his father (who had a drinking problem brought on by heavy combat in WWII) use to call me a dumb Irish Catholic son of a bitch when I was a kid. It was said in sincerity and not in jest.

Any help would be appreciated !
