You don't annoy me. But since you have an interest in Catholic matters (which I welcome) you owe it to yourself to become better informed. For starters, though she does "more good than harm" that's not why the Church exists. She's not about moral culture; she's about a mode of being-in-communion. Catholic teaching and thought derive not from a juridical insistence on moral law, but from the existential commitment to being conformed to Christ.

I will call them as I see them.

Radical individualism is one of the first things you're going to have to give up if you're seriously interested in Christianity. Best wishes, and be sure to FReepmail me if you want any more in-depth information.

In a secular world - IMO its our individualism in Christianity that sets us apart - and I'll be damned if Im going to be a conformist Ned Flanders LOL
