Sometimes we get to the point where we agree to disagree. I enjoyed our conversation. May God bless you.
Agreed, and thank you.
My point is simply that I was driven out of the Catholic Church not only by the things that drive conservative Catholics bonkers, but by things most of them accept that are utterly alien and an offense to the conscience of one coming from Fundamentalist Protestantism. You can see that I would not be comfortable in your church even if it were run by good people like you. My question is how long Mr. Giles will feel at home there.
All the best!
You seem to have been driven out by one person who was not a member of a religious teaching order. You don't seem to have been driven out by the church's teachings, but by someone's attitude.
