I think you forget that Roman Catholicism is the only religiously inclusive Christian "denomination" - for lack of a better categorization of the original Church - and recognizes that God is objective in nature. While we believe to possess the fullness of this objective Truth, it is not the case that this Truth is hidden or needs to be realized. Rather, the Truth of God's existence is ever-present and therefore, everyone's experience of God, regardless of how wacked-out or bizarre we may think it is, has a certain degree of Truth to it as it is a product of their subjective experience of the objective Lord. It would be intellectual dishonesty to disregard any other man's experience of God because he isn't aware of the Truth's of Jesus Christ and His life, death, and resurrection.

Your thinking is muddled--not unlike the Pope's.

Before I get clobbered by others on this thread, let me say I refer not to the Pope's statement on homosexuality when I say his thinking is muddled--but to his writings which are often vague and meandering and internally inconsistent.
