Yes Sir,
I believe you are the only one who actually read and understood what I am trying to do with the exception of a couple of others. Your information and the few others who answered have helped.
I do have a one more question maybe you can help me with. I am a new user to this site and I am wondering, is it always so hostile when you are trying to get help? I don't find some of the answers I have received to be very nice. People seem to make some very "off" assumptions and don't seem to be reading before they are responding?

Thank you Sir,
I think I am going to need it. Everyone seems so hostile.

So if you want myths, sorry there are none, if you wish to learn about the churches teachings, then perhaps asking nicer will get you a better resonse
Rick was nicer about it, I get offended when people call my beleifs myths.
I appriciate your opinion Sir.
I appologise for using the term myth. But I was only wording it the way it was given to me. To better explain why we used the word myth in the class (I would personally have chosen "misconceptions" or another word but it is not my class to teach)... we are trying to cover what are common misconceptions about different religions. Let me try and explain as I am still new to this and still learning more everyday.
For example, so far I have found information that SOME non Catholics have thought that Catholics pray and worship Mary, I personally did not think this as I know better, but the intranet did pull up information on it". Now, I know that this is not true so I am in the process of gathering information to show others that this is a misconseption.
I hope this might help explain a little better what I was going for. I am very to the point and sometimes my wording is off and seems abrupt, I mean no disrespect to anyone or the religious beliefs. I am merely looking for answers not arguments. Thank you for your time.

I have a problem with a professor that is already giving you the presumption that there are Catholic Myths.
Thank you for your response.
Honestly, I had never heard of a Catholic myth until this class either, but unfortunately other individuals do not see it the same way. That is why I did not know where to look and asked the question in the first place. From what I have learned in the last week there are many misconceptions of many different religions and their beliefs. I am doing my best to learn what I can about the religions covered so I can be better informed in the future.

My soul is just fine, but thanks for the concern.
