Who here is a catholic?

I always wonder if any one has the belief of the catholic religion and the catholic church. Those who believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven, earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.

By the way, yes there a differences between two religions. That have been flaws of this but it has never been proven. Therefore, this thread is proven to not be merged into the christian threads.

So is anyone here a catholic?

I used to be Catholic

Didn't work out for me, but it does work for other people.

I was baptized Catholic.

We have exCatholics apparently how is that?

Well I was a baby, so I don't remember the event........baby

I'm a Catholic......albeit a non practicing one.

Wow this is like the most disillusioned bunch I've ever seen

That's what is so great about Catholics...... ✅

No.

I was baptized and confirmed a Catholic. I went to Catholic school for 7 years. At about the summer before senior I became agnostic. Very recently I became atheist. I think I would have followed the same path whether I was Catholic, Protestant, or whatever.

Just wondering...what's the point of this thread? Are you taking some census or something? 🙄

Yeah....what IS the point to this thread exactly ?

Apparently to prove that every Catholic on KMC has lost his/her faith

So far, so good....

Odd though

Debbiejoe, Marxman, BobbyD and yourself are some of the heaviest posters here and you all used to be Catholic

Yup....aint that funny ?

Meh, I don't think its because we're former Catholics as much as that we're a former "something". Because we used to have a certain set of beliefs, questioned those beliefs, saw fault in them, and then changed them, we are pretty firm in the beliefs that we are certain on, however few those may be, because we have given them much thought. And since we have given them much thought, we like to debate on these topics.

Urizen loves finding faults in the Bible (which is obvious in his last few threads 😛 ) because that's what turned him off to Catholicism. I would assume he's given this much thought, since it is a life changing decision to denounce one's "birth religion". I love to debate on Communism Vs Capitalism because this is something I've given much thought to over the past year and a half and have found Communism to be better on many different levels.

I great quote I found in the book "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz.

Don Miguel Ruiz
We need a great deal of courage to challenge our own beliefs. Because even if we know we didn't choose all these beliefs, it is also true that we agreed to all of them. The agreement is so strong that even if we understand the concept of it not being true, we feel the blame, the guilt, and the shame that occur if we go against these rules.

I suppose I'm technically a Catholic, I was baptized and confirmed as a Catholic, but I defected after my confirmation. I'm currently an agnostic

Darn....we were on a roll there for a second.

I'm a former Catholic too, since I guess we're having a party in this thread or something.

...though I don't frequent this forum quite as much as most, I pop in occasionally to see the latest Scripture vs. common sense debates.
