Ahh, a true Christian.
I am a practicing RC, and very often find things that I don't agree with (when I'm looking).
My wife and I visit services of many other denominations, and I find things in those other churches that I really like, and also things that I don't agree with, (when I'm looking).
We have been blessed with a priest that gives the hard sermons: like the requirement to be "born-again", (refreshing from a Catholic priest), Pro-life sermons (that have people squirming in thier seats), Grace, forgiveness, sexual imorality, etc.
I've found many of my fellow Catholics to be not too scripturally sound - they are unfamiliar with the Bible.
But then there are many that are involved in Bible study - it all depends on my thinking being negative, or positive.
I've never been comfortable with a lot of the emphasis on Mary, and I believe that Mary would want ALL glory to be on Jesus - that is why the Gospels are about Jesus, and not Mary.
But then, like I stated aerlier, there are aspects of other denominations that I'm not comfortable with, either.
deno = pick
and minations = a few obscure verses and start your own religion based on twisted logic
If it ain't in the Bible, it's a cult.
For some reason that I fail to understand, G-d decided to leave His church in the hands of sinful people. I'm going to have to talk to Him about that when I get to heaven. Clearly if He had asked me how to run the universe, it would be much better. </sarcasm> (Really, it was sarcasm. No need for the thunder. I was joking. JOKING. OK? Alright, I'M SORRY. Quit with the thunder!)
Anyway, as long as the person holds Jesus as the center I am happy with their faith and their practice of it. Hopefully, the other person will think the same way about me. When that day comes, Jesus' prayer will be answered, "That they all may be one."
Of course there will be people who worship their denomination more than they worship the Christ whom their denomination was established to serve. That will happen within the RC church and without it. We mess up and worship the thing rather than the giver even when G-d gives it to us with His own hand. Remember the Bronze Serpent? If I could remain focused on Jesus, then I would have no problem with anything I have ever known in the RC church.
Shalom.
For a self-proclaimed practicing Roman Catholic, your knowledge of Marian devotion is extremely lacking. In fact, I'd say it's non-existent.
If you're seeking answers in other denominations, I doubt that you can call yourself a practicing Catholic.
