Why are you a Catholic? You don’t seem to believe in the Catholic Church.
I love it! Some want me to leave my church because I don’t march in lock step with the leadership on every single issue. Nope. Can’t have your own opinion or do your own research.
While I agree with about 90-95% of the Church’s teachings, I don’t think I should be excommunicated because I don’t agree with 100% of it. I happen to agree, btw, with what the current Pope has said about compulsory clerical celibacy. I guess it’s OK for Pope Francis to hold those views. But when I express them, I’m not sufficiently Catholic for some people.
I get really annoyed with some Catholics who claim to be holier than Thou. Some claim they are more Catholic than you because they only attend Mass in Latin. Or they only receive Holy Communion on the tongue, not in the hand as I do and other such nonsense. I’m really sick of it. I attend Mass every week. I serve as a volunteer at my church. I pray the rosary every day and watch Mass every day on EWTN. I’m tired of being told I’m not sufficiently Catholic and that I should leave the church. I’m not going anywhere and I will continue to think for myself. Sorry if that offends you.
