You are different from the rest of the world and you have to fight its temptations almost daily. Gives you spiritual muscles, though. (smile)

I find myself agreeing with my Catholic brethren more often than not in terms of fundamental beliefs. The means may vary (doctrine and dogma) but the results are the same. Your posts would seem to indicate the same.
