>>it is not in a forum, that i can convince you I am a catholic. <<
LOLOLOL!
You will never convince ANYone that you are Catholic.
You have a better chance convining anyone you are a monkey!
I'd give it up, if I were you. You and I know that one needs to practice to be truly Catholic, but it's hard to convince people of that.
So let's get this straight. Kristin isn't a Catholic because she disagrees with a few of the hypocritical political positions of the global Catholic church, even though she believes in the basics of the Catholic dogma.
Is that what you're saying? Well do you agree that the Pope is mortal and, therefore, fallible?
Have not "all sinned, and come short of the glory of God"?
Can a Catholic, in your mind, disagree with the Church's official positions on secular issues like wealth, war, etc. and still be a *true* Catholic? Did God not give us the ability to decide our opinions for ourselves, informed only by His word alone, and not regulated by the opinion of mortal man.
Hmmm. Hope all you Catholics are as tolerant as you. Maybe people like you are why I'm a Protestant (and also, surprise, NOT a frequent churchgoer within my own denomination either due to the disgusting views of many of it's leaders).
