Why haven't you carefully researched the Catholic Faith?

  • I want to avoid religious obligations, and hope that God will excuse me for my ignorance.
  • I don’t want to disturb my family and uproot the customs I have lived with my whole life.
  • I have already been thoroughly convinced that another religion is true.
  • I don’t believe in truth, only human perspective, so searching for truth is a waste of time.
  • I don’t know…maybe I should.

I’m Catholic and haven’t thoroughly researched the faith, at least in its totality 😁
 
One of the advantages of being Catholic is since we go wayyyy back in time there is always something to learn. It’s a lifetime of learning and growing in the Faith Catholic.
 
The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don’t know. Especially when it comes to amazing Saints I’ve never heard of before.
 
Off topic alert: GK Motely, haven’t seen one of your posts for a long time it seems to me unless you don’t post much now, we are crossing alternate paths. Good to see you posting. Blessings to you and yours this Easter.
 
Thank you and blessings to you and yours.

I do post here less often than I did on the old format board. But the same topics are likely to get me to reply here as they did there, if they show up. Usually, that is.

This board is less fun, IMO.
 
Got better things to do with my time.
Purgatory was doctrine till it became such a burden for the church that a new interpretation and teaching was established to change it. Now the church can go back to being infallible till another interpretation and teaching of religious doctrine will be changed again, rinse and repeat for divorce, gay community, women, family planning, child rape, etc.

Update, not purgatory, but limbo.

I find myself roaming around in topics of interest, rather than living at non-Catholic Religions. Really amazed at the diversity among (supposed) Catholics.
 
Even the article you posted mentions that limbo was never doctrine. To teach limbo was just another failure of human beings, not the church.
 
When you’re born into a family that has been Catholic for countless generations, you just kind of grow up with it and accept it and don’t need to question it.
 
I can think of at least three things that are more important than research.
  1. Faith
  2. Hope
  3. Love
 
I had all of those before I recognized the importance of Catholic practices. It was only after pursuing answers to my questions that I realized the importance of the Church, because another important concept I would add to that list is “Truth”.
 
I have a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, but I’ve been busy with other books. Most of my reading time has been spent with the KJV; I’m reading through the KJV right now (from start to finish). I do intend to read the CCC one day, though. I just haven’t gotten around to it.
