Therefore immanentist apologetics runs the danger of leaving Christians with purely personal motives for their faith and without intellectually convincing grounds as to why they believe.

Hmmm

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

I am a loyal and faithful Catholic. I attend Mass every week, I am a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus and a volunteer in my Church, but that does not make an a mindless drone who never questions anything. Here some areas where I disagree with the Church:

1) Mandatory priestly celibacy. There is no such requirement for it ever mentioned in the Bible, not in the Old Testament, not in the New Testament, not in the Gospels. It was not something that came about until the Middle Ages, used as a tool to root out corruption in the Church, primarily nepotism.

2) Papal Infallibility: Let the current Pope’s most recent comments on economic policy serve as a reminder that even popes make mistakes from time to time.

3) The Virgin Mary: Not always a virgin her ENTIRE life. She was happily married and Mary and Joseph did have other children after Jesus was born. His brothers and sisters are mentioned in the Bible. And there is no scriptural basis that Mary herself was conceived in an Immaculate Conception as some Catholics believe.

We Catholics have the right to practice our faith and make our rules. But we do not have the right to re-write history or re-write the Bible.
