Believing "Everything" about catholicism

I understand Jesus found the One True Church- Catholicism. It has changed a LOT since its original form-- heck even since the 60s with Vatican II. I have a hard time with that too-how do I explain to…

If only it were that simple :-) ...God gave us amazing, complex minds which he created so we could think and question things. Though other animals are intelligent, God did not create any other mammal…

Relocating to Washington

laura- Wish I knew more about Dupont and its schools. A good friend's brother and sister-in-law lived there so I will try to get more information for you:-) I do remember Linda (my friend's SIL) said…

Hello Cheryl ~ I was just thinking that the most beautiful aspect of our Catholic Faith is the virtue of obedience. Our Dear Lord showed us His while on earth. In the tender and touching scene in the Garden of Gethsemane, He said, "Father, let this…

A woman local to me had another great perspective (can't find her blog anymore) about the term Cafeteria Catholic. It was the very negative term for Catholics who knew the teachings but rejected them. Usually uised judgementally. She said she didn't…

It definitely makes sense Sabrina! I like your analogy of leaving the Church to leaving the US. I have joked around about doing that. You're right, people don't leave, they fight for what they think is right, or they just ignore the craziness and li…

This is a very interesting article with the $64K question...one I've struggled with most of my adult life. As a child going to parochial school it was easy to be unquestioningly Catholic where my world was quite simplistic...and everyone around me w…

Karen, what a wonderful way to put it! Wow, I got teary eyed reading your response. You have a wonderful way with words. I once heard it said that Catholicism is the hardest religion to live by, but the safest to die by.

Karen, I am glad that you asked. The teaching of the Church on contraception (& related issues) may be difficult for some, but it does not need to be confusing. These links are a great resource for what the Scriptures say about the matter, as well…

I don't want to be a Negative Nelly here because I hear and agree with what you say here Patricia. And my husband and I do use NFP even though I still question whether or not it is necessary. I see all the evils that contraception causes, trust me,…

I understand what you are saying...there are a lot of Catholics who are very judgemental and fail to see the "log in their own eye" BUT on the other hand there are way too many cafeteria Catholics these days! If people are going to pick and choose w…

I have PCOS too, we use NFP but use the Creighton Method since my periods are so sporadic...also, we have asked St. Gerard for his intercession regarding my PCOS and it has been veyr much (by the grace of God) under control. In the Catechism it has…

Just read your response Vanessa... I like what you said! Good way to put it!

Hey Cheryl, I haven't read through ALL the responses here, but read the first few. I struggle with the exact same thing. I have often wondered the same thing. If one doesn't believe in ALL things Catholic, can they call themselves Catholic? I say t…

Vanessa replied to Cheryl Rxxx's discussion 'Believing "Everything" about catholicism'
As humans, we cannot always understand God's ways exactly. Our views are marred by our fallen human existence. This is the exact reason that God blessed us with the papacy. I think you are smart to seek out answers to the questions you have. We are…

I just want to tell you that you are a very courageous woman. I bet it is so hard for you to have had those scary experiences. But know that contraception does fail. What a wonderful inspiration you are to all couples. If it helps, try not to think…

Laura Liming replied to Cheryl Rxxx's discussion 'Believing "Everything" about catholicism'
This is particularly to the point, at least in my experience. Thank you for writing so concisely. When I first began to question the teachings of the Church, I eventually came to realize this exactly, and did reject the Church as a whole in my priva…
