My biggest criticism about the Catholic Church is this...

[Believe_N_Me]

...they are not devoted enough to support Catholics in living their life as a Catholic.

If you really understood Christianity, then you would understand that there is a lot more to it than attending Sunday church, participating in church potlucks, giving to charity, and refrain from sex and swearing. There is an entire lifestyle that includes ceremonial and rituals to keep one visibly engaged with the invisible. This can be very confusing and difficult to keep up if you're not a cradle Catholic and aren't accustomed to performing these gestures. Many cradle Catholics don't practice these gestures because they don't know about them or it's too hard to keep faithful to a routine.

I find that strange because if your morning routine was to shower, wash face, brush teeth, etc. then it would just become a habit.

The real question is would it be offensive if one only performed these Catholic gestures out of habit rather than intentional? The answer is that it should be both.

I'm disappointed that the church quit encouraging Catholics to practice their belief faithfully, and they don't even try to implement protocols that support people. Or maybe it's the church where I formerly attended. Honestly, they fail at acclimating new converts. They're more interested in boasting about the diversity, but nobody is actually acting and practicing Catholicism. lol!

Since hmgROCK couldn't answer my question about the comparison/contrast between Catholicism and Christianity, can BNM shed some lights on this particular subject.

The rest are false teachings (including Shamanism) so what's there to resolve? I criticize Catholicism because it is held to a higher standard and should know better.

Yep! Anything that has to do with spiritualism. It's a religion. hmgLOSER keeps forgetting about this part. His dementia get ahold of him seriously.
