My viewpoint on Conservative versus Liberal Catholic: The faithful v the fake

[Michael57]

No, I wasn’t kidding at all–not the tiniest bit. I don’t discount anyone’s education–including any pope’s. An education even in chemistry however, is not the same as a medical education and training in terms of understanding how many modern medical items work–and I rather doubt Pope Francis would claim otherwise. Because, it just isn’t–period. Having said that, it seems to me that you deliberately missed my point–which was that it doesn’t and hasn’t taken a doctor in medicine in the church to tell Catholics when something is right or wrong–particularly noticeable with the advent in recent years of artificial contraception.

So, you’re not discounting anyone’s education, until you discount someone’s education? Okay then.

Ascribing intentions without knowing the mind of that person is what some people call “uncharitable”, but I’m sure that is not your intention here, right?

If I missed your point, I apologize. It wasn’t deliberate.

You seem to hold a medical or nursing education in high level of esteem that I do not share. That’s just the way that is. So be it.

I agree–so be it. I do hold education in some esteem–but hold the profound beauty of God’s work among human’s in even far higher esteem! Sometimes all it takes to know right from wrong is to listen to God with an humble heart–and to obey church law—even if you don’t completely understand it. Amazing isn’t it?
