"If it were not for the crystal clarity of Catholic doctrine"
I left the Catholic church. Too much of what the RCC taught was NOT Biblical.
There was NO scripture to support Purgatory, or Praying to Dead People. Mary was never sinless, she was just a faithful woman. Mary is NOT a Co-Redemtrix. Nor can she hear anyone who prays to her.
Tradition and culture are promoted as just as valid as Scripture in the RCC. There was a reason that the Protestants broke away from the church-Liberalism controlled the church back then, and holds sway even now.
The RCC is not the font for spiritual truth it claims to be.
I'm glad I left.

I too left the Catholic Church for all the reasons you stated and for the reason in message #60.
