ENOUGH ZEROING IN ON THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ALREADY! THE POPE YES! THE RELIGION NO!


     I, having been born and raised a Catholic, have had enough of Religious Zealots from other faiths continually criticizing the teachings and followings of the Catholic Church! It's enough now, for God's sake!!
     I have not been a strict follower by any means, but any differences I've had were strictly with the idea that, although each Religion thinks it's the chosen one, and the only one God will accept through the Pearly gates, is just plain wrong.
     Having said that, I'm convinced that the last thing that God would be, is particularly favorable to any Christian or protestant Religion so long as they abide by the Ten Commandments he set forth through Moses and believe in him as the Creator, regardless.
     I believe the worst offense doesn't necessarily lie specifically in the Ten Commandments, but how people who are mean, or morally indecent toward one another and exercise that ignorance.
     I can say this; Having come from a family being raised by a mother of us 11 children without the aid of a wayward husband, she would never have dreamed of making it as far as she did had it not been for her steadfast belief in God by way of the Catholic Church! It was good to us.
     I've heard of wayward Priests, just as you believers have in other Religions. We all have 99% good ones in each.
     All I can say is, the more we chose to  criticize each other's Religion for the sake of vanity, the more vulnerable we become to the Devil's wish to take us down.
     Equality in believing in God is more my belief now. Not just a specific Church. But the Catholic Church did well for our mother and family and we still respect it.
     It wasn't my mother's belief in the "Pope" that got her through all that Great Depression, raising and continuing to have children. Believe me when I say, it was her faith in "God" through the teachings of the Catholic Church and it's doctrine. It was her faith in God.
     She died in her 99th year, believing in him!
     Yes, it was the Spirit of God, who ministered the doctrine of the Church. But it was a human being by the name of "Peter", followed by other disciples of the professed Son of God, Jesus Christ.
     But Peter was only"human" just as he displayed cowardice and denied knowing Jesus when Christ was crucified. But he justified himself as he later led the church as it's first Pope. So be it that the other "Popes" were "human" that followed him to this day.
     There has to be a driver on every bus, don't you think? But like other humans, they can be wrong and falter, just as I feel about the present Pope!
     You other lesser populated Religions have your Leaders too, don't you?? They're only human too, aren't they?? So what makes you think they're better?
     But my point really is this; If we keep convincing ourselves that specific Churches we belong to are the only true ones that God's going to accept into the Kingdom of heaven, you are hypocritically wrong!
     The last thing that the non-human Spirit (GOD) would want, is for us to think one of us is tru'er or better than the other when it comes to us believing in a "chosen" Religion as the "Right" one.
     My point is, it's really stupid for people of another Christian or Protestant Religion to think they're better than one with a population of 1.5 billion members that just happen to have a "human" Pope that's gotten a little bit off track in his intentions.
     With Petty criticisms of each other, we leave ourselves vulnerable to the very Devil's Advocates standing by to take us down. Please stop!   Just sayin.
