Does not believing something, or being skeptical, even if your church says it is so affect your status in the RCC? As a Baptist, I question everything and measure it against what Scripture teaches.
I am not in any orders such as monks or priests. The only "status" I worry about is my salvation. Obedience to the teachings of the Church, big and small, is an element of that. Of course, obedience requires participation of a questioning mind, but it also requires a will to understand the mind of the Church. In other words, testing of the message of the Church for internal consistency -- against the Scripture as you do or more broadly in its entirety -- is a step toward sanctified life, but if it becomes a sport, then it is a stumbling block rather than a useful step.
