Wow! Touchy aren't you. Actually that IS the stance of the Catholic Church. You may not agree with everything, but you still have to follow those Teachings/Dogmas/Truths/etc or, once again, technically you are not Catholic. This can be found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. There is no such thing as a 'cafeteria Catholic' as some people like to put it.

I know that you really don't want to hear this, but knowing what the Church teaches and going against it can be considered a heresy.

And you're not being touchy?

No, I don't go to church every Sunday. (cuz I work) No, I don't read the Bible. No, I haven't kept up with the new Catholic teachings.

I ended catechism in 1994, before most of the current issues were a problem. I was raised to be given baptism, communion, confirmation, and one day I hope to have a traditional Catholic wedding. I was raised to believe in God and Jesus and mostly I was raised to believe that Jesus loves everybody, no matter what their "imperfections" may be. I also learned to love thy neighbor, which in turn has taught me to accept people for who they are. You're not really loving your neighbor right now are you.

Quick question... what do you think of my lesbian cousin who goes to church every Sunday, prays, wears a cross, and reads the Bible?
