Perhaps people come to Catholicism because they can't handle the responsibility of coming to the Lord and staying with Him

You obviously know nothing about Catholicism,Brother. It is exactly the opposite of what you said.

Your statement can only be said for tepid luke warm Catholics who don,t take their faith seriously ,the same can be said for tepid Protestants who don,t take their faith seriously.

I wish you a Blessed day!

Thank you. Blessing to you likewise.

It is exactly the opposite of what you said.

I know that Catholicism is a rigidly structured system of specific dogma, the subjection of which is required to be acceptable to the Lord.

Absolution is administered only by trained priests and salvation and eternal life are obtained through those priests, the practicing of that dogma.

All one has to do is what is demanded of the priests and dogma and nothing else. The striving to understand the Gospels, apply them to one's life and finding the Kingdom within for a personal relationship with God is entirely elective.

The abdication of personal responsibility was just a thought when I read the testimonies in the article.
