Do you affiliate with a NonCatholic faith community ? If you do not know that you are a Catholic, a Catholic Caucus thread is not the appropriate forum for you at this time. Do you attend Mass ?
Do you see the moral and philosophical rot in the responses you’ve been getting? “What’s a Catholic?” How is that any different that what Pilate asked, “What is truth?” (John 18:38)?
What I don't do is answer to you about the status or legitimacy of my faith. Caucus threads are meant to be a safe space for a specified faith, not an allowance for an egomaniacal inquisition. I asked a respectful Catholic question about an issue in Catholicism which concerned me. I asked it here based on my judgement that the level of involvement I have with Catholicism is adequate for me to ask the question. Your assessment of my relationship with Catholicism is therefore utterly irrelevant. And to prove it, you can answer my question to you about your obedience to the Pope.
