I was a roman catholic as a child. I got some sacrament or other. With it came a copy of the new testament, but no Five Books of Moses. I wonder why.

I believe that the Catholic Church embraced Protestant-created higher criticism (and evolution) because they undermined the truth of the Bible and thus undercut the Protestant claim of Biblical sufficiency (which claim is false, btw, as the Written Torah cannot be understood apart from the Oral Torah.) Now in order to be Catholic one simply must be a higher critic and evolutionist, or else face charges of being crypto-Protestant. On top of this is the lie that the Catholic (and Orthodox, and other ancient) churches in fact never accepted the truth of Genesis at all, and that the historical accuracy of Genesis 1-11 is a creation of nineteenth century evangelicals.

The hardest to take of Catholic (and other) hypocrisy is the fact that while they subject Genesis to uniformitarian scientific critique, they exempt the "new testament" with its equally impossible, unscientific claims such as "real presence," resurrection from the dead, multiplication of loaves and fishes, and magical virgins who give birth to babies without the participation of a human father and whose child magically passes through the mother's side to be born so her hymen would remain intact. All this is approved by their "scientists" and "intellectuals" but only inborn trailer trash could possibly believe in the Six Days of Creation, the Flood, or the Tower of Babel.

They disgust me.

You say you received "some sacrament or other." I venture to say you weren't paying much attention.

This can be remedied. Oh, how welcome you would be in my RCIA class! Come on in!

You are still a Catholic if you were baptized a Catholic. The baptismal mark on your soul does not go away. So you are just an inactive Catholic.

You can come back any time by talking with a priest and getting your questions answered.
