Why then do you capitalize the "c" in catholic? And what difference is there between consecrated and unconsecrated, in regard to sacrilege?

I thought you were defending catholicism?

Yes, and we don't need to keep doing it.

Would you be kind enough to elaborate on that?

Or desperate.

Yes, He did...and now that we are "in Christ", we can be obedient too. Thanks be to God and His grace !!!
