For context, I disagree with the Catholic church and I am not Catholic myself. But up until recently, I simply considered it a matter of difference, similar to a church who firmly believes that water baptism is needed for salvation, as opposed to another who simply see it as an outward expression of your conversion and faith. But with the pope's recent changes to fundamental church doctrine lately, I have to ask: Why and How can you still follow a church that is betraying the teachings of Jesus Christ himself? I understand one of the cornerstones of Catholic faith is faith in the church, so much as doctrine spoken by the pope is considered on par with scripture itself. But how can you continue to condone the actions of a MAN (Yes, the pope is human at the end of the day) who speaks "law" which directly contradicts Christ's teachings? Does this not bother you or cause a moment's pause to think "Maybe this isn't the correct church?"

Because I refuse to relent the title Catholic to the jews. I consider myself Catholic, was baptized Catholic, but do not follow Vatican II.

You'll excuse me for sounding disrespectful, but that sounds utterly silly to me. The title of Catholic is more important that the following of the God whom he religion claims to be based around?

No, more along the lines of I know what the religion was and is supposed to be, by calling myself Catholic it's by that definition, what the religion is supposed to be; not the mockery we have today.
