Have you ever noticed that people pull out the " you shouldn’t judge" card when you might be pointing out the truth. i.e abortion, fornication , adultery, sola scriptura, church history, in vitro fert.etc.
People seem to go through life saying things like “Jesus knows what’s in my heart” . Therefore what you think is more important than church teaching.
One last thought, if the Holy Spirit is leading you away from the Church or Church teaching then it isn’t the Holy Spirit.

I find this statement very telling…I hear it so often…I have begun to say…No kidding ! I do not think that God has any problems understanding what is in your heart or in your head…that statement is about you…in terms of God…the question is …does he approve of what is in our heart or in our head ! People say it in serious situations…the last time I heard it…a couple came to our church to ask for a baptismal date for their new baby…they did not belong to our parish but they liked the new renovations…I told them they would have to get a brief note from their parish priest and have a reason for going to another parish as a common courtesy to their parish priest. They responded … he does not know us as we have not been to church since we were married ( 5 years before !!!) They than assured me that they loved each other and that even though this was so **God understood their hearts **and they wanted to have there baby baptized as **they **were both baptized and so wanted **their **baby to be as well. I could not resist and said… well why don’t you just gather a few friends get a little water and baptize your baby yourself…God will understand ! He knows what is in your heart. They looked at me as though I were insane but after the initial shock… **they **did get the message !!! Later our parish priest called their parish priest and they were asked to attend Sunday Masses for at least several months and to attend an introduction to Baptism classes. Things have become so subjective, so self- centered and even God is taken for granted to say nothing of the Church.
