Rant on! When you're Catholic it can happen too, though hardly to the same extent. I have heard that same thing: "You do too believe that everything the Pope says is the word of God," or whatever. It is funny -- I grew up in a very Protestant community so it was common for people to gossip and speculate on what Mormons and Catholics believe. Now that I am Catholic, I do hear a lot of Catholics asking, "What do Protestants believe about XYZ? I always thought that Protestants did . . ."

Course, I can't imagine how hard it would be to give a newspaper-type synopsis of a religion and make it both meaningful and accurate!
