First, thanks for thinking you know me and telling me what i think, despite the fact that you don't know anything about me. Great way to start thing off.
I was sceptical about the catholic church too when i was saved, mate. But after some research (wich is ongoing), i found that SO MUCH of what i was told about the catholic church was complete and utter rubbish. I'm not saying the catholic church as an organisation has no faults. No organistion on earth, with a human element, is perfect. But the teachings of the catholic church and the traditions are INCREDIBLE!! They really are beautiful. And i have found, so far, that her teachings are correct and DO NOT, as others accuse, go against the teachings of Christ. Just research. It's really not that hard. You can get a copy of the catechism very very easily. And then, if you find something wrong with her teachings, you can use it as a source to explain to people, like myself, what is wrong with it by quoting it. Instead of running us down for no educated reason. God bless. My name's Charlie btw.
