There are over a billion Catholics in the world today. It would be ludicrous to suggest that we should all think exactly the same way. It is not wrong to question Church teachings especially when they do not conform to what is written the Bible.

I suppose I could join the Mormon Church——that might make you happy. Or I could join the Episcopalian Church, or Jehovah’s Witness, or The Quakers, etc.... No doubt I would find some issues with some of those churches as well.

Sorry to annoy you, but I’m sticking with my Catholic Church where I serve as a volunteer (Eucharistic Minister) and a member of the Knights of Columbus.

You mistake my curiosity for annoyance. My wife and I are converts to Catholicism so we both abandoned the faith traditions we had been raised in to become Catholic because we believe what the Catholic Church teaches is true.

I disagree with the hierarchy on many matters of prudential judgement but I can't imagine hanging around if I decided the Church had blown it on a doctrinal issue. I don't want to put you in the category of Nancy Pelosi but I'm just as confused by her as I am now by you... what is it that holds you to a Faith you clearly don't fully believe?
