We're not opposed to Catholics having pride in their church, but that doesn't mean that every church that doesn't join them isn't a church.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's troubling for me as a Catholic to be at odds with the church.
I don't go to church any more, but I think that Catholicism is rather like the brand they use on cattle: I feel so formed in that Catholic mould that I don't think I could adopt any other form of spirituality. I still get feelings of consolation about churches.
Let Catholics build their own churches and works.
I found out that many of our Catholics simply don't know what the church teaches, and why, on a lot of issues, and therefore are saying things that they think are okay. They simply don't know.
Yes, I'm Catholic; I'm proud of it. But I had lots of Protestant friends.
People who are stuck in a Catholic church, that's OK for them because that's what they need right now.
Plenty of people are raised Catholic and then aren't Catholic anymore, like any religion.
I think we are all trying to figure out what it means to be the Church as opposed to just doing church.
I'm afraid the SS's relationship with the Catholic Church is something the Church still has to deal with and does not deny.
There is a lot wrong with the church.
