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?"

I think you misunderstand what I was saying. I'm not asking people to leave the faith. Faith in Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of our faith and our salvation. What church title you paint yourself with is irrelevant. But if you no longer attend a church, why continue to paint yourself with that brush? Find a new church to participate in. As long as your faith in Jesus remains, all you want is like minded people to be with.

Nah, we understand each other. Was pointing out what you already knew for others to read. Jesus Christ is where it's at. Church participation is where White communities thrive. I'm with you, friend

If you believe that God created everything then you're already in his church. This is my belief as a non-practicing, confirmed catholic. I don't need to go sit in some overly expensive / extravagant building somewhere to show fealty to our Lord. I talk (pray) to him all of the time no matter where I'm at and I firmly believe that God responds back to me through my own intuition on matters in life.

I'm much the same because I don't trust churches anymore, especially now with the whole "Stand With Israel" shit started. But the holy spirit did instruct Paul to command us to contribute to a church. So if we want to follow commands from God, it's our job to seek a God fearing place of worship to contribute to.

I am used to, and appreciate the Rites and Rituals of the Catholic church. After the last pope was deposed, and this jew puppet was installed, I've fallen away from the church. I suppose a Vatican I church would be the best, at this point.
