Op I know that to attack an institution you must understand what they stand-what is there universal belief- everything is just interpret ion!
Quoting: Oxi moran Ahh I see the problem clearly. Your self identity is so wrapped up in the organization that you interpret an attack on that organization as an attack on you.
The problem is not Catholic people Op. It's the organization.
So let me get this straight you can't find anything in their central document to criticize?
P
I was born and raised Catholic.. I have a lot to criticize about the Catholic church.
In the creed, they claim to be apostolic - or teachings relating to the 12 apostles... who were taught by Jesus.
As a former Catholic, it made me sick to see the pomp and circumstance, opulance, gold all over the place on the altars, and male clergy taking up half of the churches during the Pope's masses. It was disgusting.
They should be in sack cloth and selling all that gold and giving the monies to the poor. It's so much against what Christ taught.
This pope must have been nauseated from all of the pomcircumstance. The only time he smiled was when he was with the poor. This is what Christ taught.
All true.
Those masses should have been filled with the poor people, not clergy first and wealthy people who won church lotteries to gain an inside ticket. Seriously.
I'm on a rant because the Catholic church is not walking the walk and is just talking the talk of what Christ taught his apostles. Seriously...teeshirts and Pope swag?
What would Christ want from an apostolic church?
Shed the glitzy uniforms, and sell the gold...
Go serve others...and for God sake, feed the poor!
