Catholicism is the most difficult faith to follow. Their "laws" haven't changed in 2000 years even though it's had to absorb "new" laws (speeding, illegal drugs, etc.) but we all know sin because we all have a conscience.

One of the most STUPID mantras of the '60's: "Bad laws were made to be broken." That is, people make their own laws when God's laws don't fit into their agenda. The "me generation" was always around. It's just morphed into something more timely.

Though I’m not Catholic, I agree. The church isn’t some liberal social club. I also agree that it’s disingenuous to claim your own blog is ‘copyrighted.’

The foundational tenets that form the basis for Catholic teaching are true for eternity. They come from Jesus Christ and over 2000 years of tradition and theology.

What you describe as the “laws” that are derived from these truths are made by men and are therefore imperfect and can change. But they change only if the remain consistent with the underlying verities that the faith is based on.

And then there is TRADITION; when what GOD has had written in the Book is just not enough.
