Why are you here?

Catholicism is not a feel-good choose-your-own-adventure. I'm a former lapsed catholic, and I do understand your rejection of some of the tenets of church. I just question your rejection of parts- do you really believe that you're so smart and correct that you can turn your back on the collective wisdom of two millenia? I'd love to have your confidence.
Some of us have re-entered the fold because of a lightning-bolt style intercession or experience of near-death. I hope it doesn't take that for you to really examine whether or not you're one of us. But... maybe it will! Best of luck to you, either way.

I see.. this thread is for "believers in the Catholic Church and all it's tenet's only"

I do not believe I am smart about anything. You know nothing about me and yet you think I am turning my back on the collective wisdom of two thousand years.

Each of us has our own path to take in this life. If my path takes me around the Church instead of inside of it, it is of my own choosing. It makes me no less of good person than say, a faithful Catholic is.
