Just finding a church that actually follows and believes in the Bible would be a great step up from where you’ve been.
Have you actually read the latest Papal document (or any Papal document) on the Bible? http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/apost_exhortations/documents/hf_ben-xvi_exh_20100930_verbum-domini_en.html
The Catholic Church clearly believes in the Bible. You may not agree with her interpretation of the Bible, and not all Catholics actually believe what the Church puts forward for belief, but if you read her official statements on the Bible, the official position is clear. As to actually following . . . well, that has been a problem since these two guys named Judas and Peter showed up. We try . . . at least some of us do—though it is at times tempting to despair.
It was the FIRST Christian Church.
The word “Catholic” means UNIVERSAL>
However, the Priesthood has been infested with Socialists who do not really understand economic issues.
“Subsidiarity” is still Catholic Doctrine, and it is a rebuke of Socialism and Communism
Unfortunately, few Priests and Bishops understand that Doctrine.
As a Catholic, I know that Peter was the first Pope, and I know that the history, relics, manuscripts and all early artifacts of Christianity are in the hands of the Catholic Church or the Orthodox Church, which was the first to separate from Rome.
I also know that Martin Luther and the Protestants were wrong to strip several Books OUT of the Bible, Books that were part of the teachings available in the synagogues Jesus visited, while on this Earth.
There would be no Bible without the Catholic Church.
There would be no Christianity without the Catholic Church.
Having said that?
The Catholic Bishops are really getting on my nerves! I do not expect you to accept all that I have stated, here, but --- if you wish to recruit Catholics to any other faith, I ask you to understand where we are coming from!
