So, I have a question about Catholics. I have an acquaintance, that one day I hope to call friend, who is catholic. She is one of the most wonderful individuals I’ve met in my life. She’s very intelligent, thoughtful, kind, caring and unselfish.
I’v had discussions with her about the catholic faith as I’ve been looking in that direction. Don’t know where I’ll wind up but I do feel for some reason to be pulled in that direction for a couple of years and I’ve tried to learn as much as I could first. I ask her about her catholic faith and she tells me this:
“ I was raised in the church and its teachings, but like most catholics I go do what I want.”
Ok, I’m thinking I’ve heard this from other catholics as well. Also I know she has excellent morals and ethics from associating with her. But to me it shows disdain and contempt. I’m left thinking what’s the point? She does attend Mass every week, but not anything else.
My question is how prevalent is this attitude? Thanks.
Is she denying the authority of the Pope, RCC, etc… and moving more toward a protestant perspective (while still believing in God, Jesus, etc…) or is she denying the Truth of God and His Son completely, and moving more toward Humanism?
