All I'm saying is we have a perfect system for faith in morals through the Church SFA, we are all aware (I hope) that this is far form the truth. Not because of what the Church teaches, but what the Church practices.
The same thing is true of our government: based on noble principles, but stained in practice.

It's people who decide not to practice what the Church teaches regarding faith and morals.It's all there in dogmatic form for them to see,thus,it is people,not dogmatic Church teaching that make mistakes

Why do you think that is God's fault? Are you "mad at Him" for creating men free to chose evil?
If they can't choose evil, then neither can they choose the good.
