Btw, he once disliked Catholicism, but changed over the years. I don't know much about that change but--just glad he didn't turn into one of those raving anti-Catholic... whatevers Edited September 27, 2019 by createdequal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I am not saying definitely he is on his way to Hell but from what I know about his teachings, he is NOT a true Christian.
