No, I can separate the machinery and the organization from the followers. I don’t dislike Catholic religious people. I am sad for them many times, yes.
Being a Christian, it is hard for me to respect the organization, you must understand, because I have read the entire Bible- a few times, and the religion doesn’t jibe with what is in the word of God.
I do have some respect left. It isn’t much, but I am a traditionalist and a conservative. I like that people hold old traditions ,out of respect for people who came before.
I just don’t think it has much to do with Jesus or God.
Now that I know you consider yourself to be superior to us lowly Catholics, please do this lowly Catholic a favor, and leave me alone. I have no interest in little dog syndrome.
