So are you headed to Rome or full blown skepticism?

See, that's the problem with you people. If you don't march in lockstep and acccept the groupthink, then you must be either a Catholic or an atheist.

I reject your false dichotomies. I am a Reformed Christian with enormous respect for the Early Church Fathers and the Medieval scholastics (e.g. Aquinas) and Catholic theologians descended from their line, such as B16. I don't buy all their conclusions, but they're worth a listen.

Once you can wrap your minds around the fact that Rome is not the enemy, then you'll understand where I'm coming from.

The first time I heard the Islamic call to prayer from a muzzein in a Muslim country, I realized how limited our view can be from the pews. I have a lot more in common with my Catholic and Orthodox friends than I do with an Islamist or a Buddhist.
