But what you're dealing with here, is a person who is not a very good Catholic.

I'm a REALLY good sinner; but please don't use me as an example or an excuse.

I consider myself saved by grace; as you do.

I also consider myself kept by the same grace. I do NOT beat myself up over any 'rules' my chosen denomination has set before me that I've failed to follow to the letter.

"I consider myself saved by grace; as you do."

Good. Something we have in common.

"I also consider myself kept by the same grace. I do NOT beat myself up over any 'rules' my chosen denomination has set before me that I've failed to follow to the letter. "

I'm not beating myself up. I just admit when I've fallen short, which is frequently. I'm not a very good faster; and Christ said there are demons that can't be expelled except by prayer and fasting.

Could be why there's still a Planned Parenthood office in my very neighborhood, and Obama's still in the White House.

And I kid you not.
