[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just join the methodist church if you like it. They don't have a ton of rules like Catholic do. They will welcome everyone. [/quote]

I am a lifelong Methodist and I married a Catholic boy. He feels welcomed by the Methodist Church (we have attended several) and he would say never know that he should experience joy in church (and worship). There are lots of reasons testing out different churches is good for people.

[b]God doesn't care what building you're in - it's more important to worship with shared beliefs, offer assistance to the needy, and do so in a welcoming environment.[/quote][/b]

If this perspective appeals to OP, she definitely isn't Catholic anymore.[/quote]

Lots of flavors of Catholic.[/quote]
Wrong. [b]Either one believes what th3 Holy Catholic Church teaches or one does not. There are no “flavors” of Catholicism.[/b] Deny a single dogma and you’re not Catholic anymore.

“O my God, I firmly believe 
that you are one God in three divine Persons,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 
I believe that your divine Son became man 
and died for our sins and that he will come 
to judge the living and the dead. 
[b]I believe these and all the truths 
which the Holy Catholic Church teaches
because you have revealed them 
who are eternal truth and wisdom, 
who can neither deceive nor be deceived. [/b]
In this faith I intend to live and die. 
Amen.”

There are, however, flavors of Catholic priests, who are happy to have you as a member of their church, even if you break a few of the rules from time to time.  Birth control, for instance.

It's perfectly clear from the lower number of children per family these days, that many catholics are practicing birth control.  Those people are not being kicked out of their churches.  Their financial support is accepted and they receive absolution in the confessional.[/quote]
Sure, but they won’t make it to heaven if they continue down the road their on. Use of contraceptives is a mortal sin( which will damn an individual if not confessed before death) Priests who encourage or tolerate this for the sake of money can also expect a harsh judgment. Chrysostom says the floor of Hell is covered with the heads of priests.

Maybe you should stand outside the confessional warning priests and parishioners of their eventual descent into hell if they keep supporting birth control.  It seems like it would be your Christian duty.[/quote]
Thankfully, I don’t go to a parish where people support stuff which has been condemned

So all the families in your parish have 10+ kids I assume?[/quote]
All ,of them( with the exception of really young families) have at least 5[/quote]
