2) You are right about Mary. A true saint. But not a perpetual virgin. She was married to Joseph and Jesus had brothers and sisters. This is mentioned in the Bible and I first learned in it a Bible study class taught by a CATHOLIC priest in a CATHOLIC church. 3) You are right about confession. We are taught in the Bible to confess our sins, but no requirement is there which says you must confess them to a priest. 4) An the concept of papal infallibility is a complete crock, a dogma developed in the late 19th century by a rather authoritarian Pope who didnt want any of his other ideas, doctrines, or dogmas questioned. I could go on and on. I love my Church and respect its history and traditions. But like all other churches it is a man made institution and is far from perfect. It makes mistakes and commits sins just like everyone else. #2...you are wrong #3...you are wrong #4...you are wrong. Pay attention to what the church teaches and find out why...it is VERY easy to understand it once someone who knows what he/she is talking about explains it to you
You misunderstood what the priest told you concerning Mary's virginity.

You say I’m wrong on all of these points, but you don’t elaborate. I would be more than happy to discuss any one of these points in greater detail if you like. I get most of my information on these issues directly from the Bible. Where are you getting your information?
