I'm not trying to start a fight with you... but just challenging you to think it out. God's Word my friend is the final authority..not me. I place my trust in God's Word not traditions.
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. (St. John 16:12,13)
May you ask Almighty God with your whole heart to show you if these things are true or not.
You are always welcome to return to the Catholic Church. You only need to sit down and talk with a priest about your questions about men.
**I was deceived by my Catholic traditions.**
You are not deceived. Read Luke. Chapter 2 too.
