I love my faith and I could never imagine choosing another religion to practice but is it wrong for me to have issues with some of our beliefs?
That's exactly what I wonder, sometimes. What really gets to me is when I ask a question - bearing in mind that I'm searching for help and guidance in forming my conscience - oftentimes, the replies I get are along the lines of "if you don't agree with the Church then you shouldn't be Catholic," which just pushes me to the brink of despair. How am I supposed to learn anything if I automatically get shown the door any time I ask??
**sigh** I suppose this is why I tend to keep my confusion to myself....
