[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is something about the Catholic attitude that isn't inclusive or open and that's what I find off-putting.  There is more "my way or the highway" than in other religions -- and I am just talking about my first-hand experience as a non-Catholic who married a Catholic.  I didn't have this view until I went through the intrusive pre-Cana process, met with the priest, etc.  [/quote]

Wow. [b]It's actually quite the opposite. Very much inclusive and about treating each other with kindness and having a sense of community. . .it's hard to put it into words, but this is from a non-catholic who attended a catholic school[/b], and I was one of the only non Catholics there. [/quote]

100% my experience as well[/quote]

Mine, too.  Other PPs have talked about this...the haters cannot seem to separate the everyday people of the Church and the good works they do in their communities from the sins of the Church leadership.  That would be the same as looking at all the scandals with Congressmen and saying that means every single one of the Americans that elected them must also be corrupt and horrible.  Many of us are just as horrified by the coverups of priests' abuses and don't take every piece of doctrine to heart.  In my church community, the emphasis is on loving your neighbor and service to others.  [/quote]
