Flaws in Lord of the Rings... Yes in the book.

Tolkien was a Catholic (which is similiar to Christianity in some ways)

Eh? Catholicism IS Christianity, or rather it is the oldest of the many different strands of Christianity in the world today.

This is not the first time I've seen a comment like this on the Downs, and I'd be very interested in knowing where this weird perception of Catholicism comes from.
Given that Tolkien was a Catholic (and I'm not, btw, so I've got no personal axe to grind) I think it's important to clear this up.
