I DO NOT speak for ALL Catholics, I speak for myself. Are we into judging religions now?
I was merely telling you something that I have observed here, mostly female Catholics announcing that they are Catholic, and defending Mormonism from Christian attack, it is a common sight on Mormon threads, just as seeing the atheists show up to defend Mormonism, although your church is against Mormonism and labels it a non-Christian religion, created by Joseph Smith.
For some folks, that's exactly the goal.
Pride cometh before a fall and for sixty years the crowd that beats their chests and brags about what fine Christians they are have been falling flat on their faces but still can't figure it out. Christ said to be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves, not to be as cute as a skunk and to spray the stench of personal pride and self-rightousness on everyone you encounter.

So you are not in agreement with the teachings of the Catholic church?
Nothing Ansel said was judging your religion. He made an observation, one that has been borne out on these threads (since you are new I will give you the benefit of the doubt about not being familiar with the standard debates in this forum) and in practice as well.
Regarding your reticence to judge, I suggest you read the following page. There is nothing wrong in judging heresies if you are not a heretic yourself. Christians are given the gift of discernment for a reason.

All the TIME!
'Religions' usually have published positions on all kinds of things.
Most members of those religions, if they do NOT go along with what headquarters has published, at least give lip service to the stated postitions.
When someone comes along and says they do NOT go along with what their chosen religion has taken a stand on; well, that just makes a fellow wonder...
