WHY should I believe you?
Do you have anything to offer but your opinion?
Yes, I, unlike some, remained Catholic all my life, attended Catholic school, paid attention during catechism class, demanded answers from clergy when I had questions, read fairly extensively on Catholic teachings, accepted the historical church and learned how she grew and matured through the centuries, and did not buy the pathetic excuses for those who decided to cause a revolution in Christianity to further their erroneous re-interpretations of God's word.
