I think Jenscat can speak fine for herself, but check out what she said. She doubts if the Bible is the word of God. She doesn't believe that marriage is designed by God to be the union of a man and a woman. You don't have to be the Pope to know that this is not what a Catholic believes.
Since when is it a requirement to mindlessly believe everything I'm told?? I don't just believe everything I'm told, whether it's from people, a priest, the newspaper, etc.....
And why should I take a Catholic priests word on what's right & wrong when, for all I know, he's molesting one of the altar boys?? I certainly would not let someone like that tell me how to live my life....
Again, the Bible is written by men.....mortal, fallible men who may have taken liberties with the truth or exaggerated.....Men also, who give
women no voice or rights.....To me, the Bible is not a "to be taken literally, how to live my life guide." Again, the true word of God is spoken by God Himself, not by a bunch of guys writing a book 2,000 years ago....God will reveal to me His word upon my death....
And I can be Catholic without accepting everything the Catholic Church preaches....
For example, I am going to hell, no matter what I do, according to the Catholic church for the
sole reason alone that I am adopted and was created out of wedlock by unmarried teenagers.....Now is that something a good Catholic would teach a small child in grade school??
NO!
But, now we're off topic....
