Superstitious organisation calls another a fraud.

by Feòrag

United States: The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta is having trouble keeping up with the competition, and has filed a lawsuit accusing a rival (Spanish-language) church of falsely claiming to be Roman Catholic. It seems the Roman Catholic Church feels that Hispanic immigrants are too stupid to notice that Capilla de la Fe is somewhet different from the churches they are used to:

In downtown Atlanta, Capilla de la Fe holds services at a Stop Suffering Center, where pamphlets in Spanish tout the cure-all effects of holy water available with a donation.
Some Capilla de la Fe services are unlike anything offered at Roman Catholic parishes, including one focusing on strong prayer to destroy witchcraft, demon-possession, nightmares, curses, envy, bad luck or spiritual problems.
