Disagreeing with Church hierarchy doesn’t make you less Catholic and is not wrong except in matters that are settled dogma. Those that have been spoken to Ex Cathedra. Among those are the Immaculate Conception of Mary. The Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ, the Trinity, that all elective abortions are intrinsically evil and yes, the infallibility of the Pope while speaking Ex Cathedra.

Lots of Catholic maters are confusing. Much of the Bible is confusing and often seems contradictory. That is why the guidance of the Holy Spirit through the Church is so important.

Settled dogma? Huh? Reminds me of what Algore says about global warming.

Rather than making things up out of whole cloth and “settled dogma”-—why not instead READ THE BIBLE!!!!!!

Acts 15:8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness by granting them the holy Spirit just as he did us. 9 He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith he purified their hearts.
