Message: Entry: Who's Infallible Here, Anyway? The Human Life Review Chooses Party Over Church Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/wars_and_rumors_of_war#5477 Post contents: Mr. Ball, I can understand your first reason for leaving the Catholic Church. If you no longer accept all of Catholic doctrine, it is more honest to leave than to become a "cafeteria Catholic" or "a Catholic, but . . .". I can only pray that the Holy Spirit will enlighten you. But your second and third reasons remind me of what an Episcopalian once said to me, "The problem with you papists is that you have no standards; you let in all the riff-raff". Indeed we do, as did Christ, who dined with prostitutes and other sinners, including (I still have problems with this one myself) tax collectors. I rather suspect you'll find some unsavory characters in your ancestral Anglican Church as well. After all, it was founded by the royal serial killer Henry VIII and its first members were his opportunistic and/or cowardly courtiers. Sent at: 2008 11 22
