I just thought of it like this.
I'm a Phi Mu. I love my founders, I love my sisters all around the world. I love our Creed.
Do I love WORD FOR WORD the Phi Mu Creed? No. Does anyone? Prolly rare. Does that make them not a Phi Mu? DEFINITELY NOT.
I don't agree with all of our bylaws and such. Does that make me not a Phi Mu? NOPE.

I love my sorority alot. But, I would never compare my faith/religion to it. But since you brought it up, let's run with that. I love Alpha Kappa Alpha. I believe in the mission and ideals on which we were founded and stand. IF I didn't, I would not have expressed interest in AKA in the first place. As a member, as there rules that I do not care for? Yes. However, those are rules that may be changed and there are systems in place to allow for change. So, I would liken church beliefs and doctrines to the principles of my org, and policies to common practices.
Thanks for the feedback RACopper. I think I will have to do more research on beliefs/doctrine vs. tradition in the Catholic church
