>>I don’t need to go through a pope to talk to God.<<
*snicker*
Neither do I, or any Catholics.
Is that what you think we do? Get on the Popephone to talk to God?
In a way, you are. As you have things decided for you about how you will worship and the words you use. These are the ultimate responsibility of the Pope.
Not really; I just find it laughable that you need to confess your sins to a priest when the rest of us have a direct line to God.
When Catholics screw up they always have a way to get out of it--buy your way out. Annulment = divorce There is as much or more hypocrisy in the Catholic church as any other.P>
