Where are you going with this??

CG: Yes, God gave us all a heart to love Him. But he also gave us a mind to know Him.

You don't want to think. You don't want others to think. You demand blind obedience, not with full assent of the will, but with obliteration of the will. That is not Catholic; that is Islamic.

<> Balderdash. You may not like what I think, but I do think; I think.

I do not encourage obliteration of the Will; far from it. The Will is, with Intellect and Memory, a property of the Soul and it ought to be set upon the Triune God and His Divinely-Constituted authority on Earth.

Catholics are Baptised and, therefore, adopted sons and daughters of God and we can call Him, Abba, Father. An Iman or a Muslim could never do that as they have a Master - Slave relationship. I think as adopted Children of God we ought to Honor and Obey our Heavenly and Earthly Father. I am not the one whose Will is set on such Willfull things as tradition as defined by myself.<>
