I doubt many people here would claim they hadn't sinned, and SIN is what all of that is. We go to confession to get absolution for our sins with the admonition to not repeat the sin.

If you disagree with the Church teaching on priests, nuns, birth control, and homosexual marriage, why are you still a Catholic? Why don't you join the Episcopalians?

I just don't understand this. I disagreed with the Methodists and therefore became a Catholic. I suggest that if you don't believe any of the tenets of the Church, then you really would be happier in a Protestant denomination.

Miss Marple..there you go again...who said I don’t believe ANY of the tenets?

Even the pope says the birth control thing is difficult. Catholic church tells people not to practice birth control and then can’t take responsibility for the babies who born and die of starvation. Catholic charities only gets so much money to help.

Pro-life is my #1 requirement in a political candidate. I also believe in preventing death if possible...like the horror of babies who starve to death.

I think the Catholic church would be stronger and healthier if it included priests who wish to marry and I certainly don’t believe they should allow homosexual marriage.

I can’t find any word of God that says men shall not marry and be Catholic priests.
