Would like a Catholic's response to what "non- denominational" means

[PJM]

=Proxi;5323601]I know you were looking for Catholic answers here, but I just felt the need to comment so my apologies !

I consider myself nondenominational. I do not know enough about the Catholic Church and it’s theology to call myself Catholic, and I have never agreed with people who call themselves a particular denomination but know nothing about it. I have taken three courses in Catholic theology at the university level, but there are still somethings I am unsure about. My beliefs most closely align to the Evangelical Lutheran Church, but I am much more of a fundamentalist since they are allowing homosexual marriage in some of their churches and I am very much against that.

Thus, out of respect for the various denominations out there, I am non-denominational. I am not even close to Baptist, although many non-denominational churches may be Baptist or Pentecostal in their original roots.

I get the feeling that some people consider non-denominational people to be less of a Christian since they “pick and choose” their beliefs. However, I have to respectfully disagree. I may pick and choose my beliefs, but I stand strongly by what I believe in for reasons very close to my heart. So instead of identifying with a particular Church where I may have to say I believe in something that I may question strongly, I say I am non-denominational.

**If humanity is to seek God in TRUTH, and truth is limited to what it [singular] is, true; it seems something of a “wrong road,” wrong path to try to find God and truth when you only choose what you like, what you can understand, what makes sense to you

Is that really all that God expects from us? Is that why we have a mind, intellect, freewill?**

Are we on planet earth for our personal gradification, or might there be a greater, a grander purpose?

Love and prayers,

Pat
