[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not Catholic, but I would guess that many Catholics see the church, flawed as it may be, as the way to God. [/quote] I’m Catholic, and this didn’t sit right with me. I have been thinking about this off and on today, and I think what isn’t right is that this sounds like I am on a journey toward God, and I will get there at some distant point in the future. The reality is that I feel close to God right now, here on earth. I am part of the church that He started. I take part of His body into my body. It’s not about getting into heaven. It’s about having a relationship right now. Whatever flaws the Church has (and there are many), I don’t want to give that up. [/quote] PP here, and I think we’re talking about the same thing. I just didn’t want to get into a discussion about paths to God today, the role of priests in this, and so on. [/quote]
