    That is one of the things I like about being Catholic. I love a lot of it, and I careless about some of it. I love the fact that it is okay to question my religion. I love having debates and Q and A's with my priest. We both get a good laugh out of some of our conversations!

    Your question inspired me to leave this comment:

    You are a free person with a free mind, and you may choose to subscribe to some/all Catholic beliefs but on no account do you *have* to believe what a priest tells you. You *should* question your beliefs and decide what to think for yourself.

    Yes of course we all have our rants and doubts.

    It is a part of our religion and a good part that we are allowed to question and disagree.

    I was raised catholic, and I often used to get a niggling feeling inside me that told me I was going the wrong way. I stopped attending the catholic church and started reading the bible more and more. The more I read the bible the more discrepencies I found between the church and The Word of God. I did what the bible says to do, I was baptised by full imersion (as an adult) like Jesus was, in the Name of Jesus Christ. I accepted The Lord and Saviour as my Lord and Saviour, and I received the Holy Spirit. As per the bible I no longer confessed my sins to a priest, as there is only one mediator between man and God, and that person is Jesus. I no longer prayed the rosary, as it is unbiblical. I know longer prayed through Mary, as that is unbiblical, as only Jesus can mediate between man and God. I never did pray through saints, so I was ok there. The word "Saint" means to be "Sactified". When a person is baptised (as an adult) (not as a baby) by full imersion, in The Name of Jesus Christ, and accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, he/she is sanctified and therefore is a saint. We are sanctified by the blood of Jesus Christ. There are millions of saints on the earth today and millions more in heaven. The pope or the vatican or no other man has authority to declare anyone a saint. Please, keep questioning, read the bible, compare the word of God to the churches teachings. You will find your way, as I did. I was lost but now I am saved. God bless all who read this.

    I am.
    I am conflicted on how the Catholic church handles the planned parenthood methods and birth control alternatives in general for I think they're not only necessary but essential in today's world

    I used to be a catholic, I am a Born Again Christian now, (as The Lord has told us to be). But when I was a catholic, yes, I had those feelings alot, that is why I left the church, and now I only follow The Lords Word, through His written word, The Holy Bible.

    Maybe something "in the back of your head" is trying to tell you something about your beliefs, and about their teachings? You'd be surprised what you'd find out if you dug deep enough.

    I am a Catholic, but there are something about the church that I don't agree with. Case in point, the church don't recognized divorce, and yet, they recognized annullment if there's money involve. They way I see it, is that, if they don't recognized divorce, there's should not be any marriage annullment, period.
