I got to chime in on this: Heck the holy mother wouldnt even be allowed allowed to play golf at Augusta Nat. if she wanted to! (think about that)
With all the scandle in the Church I actually went back. I am Catholic, I tried Luthern (that is what my wife is) but since the Pastor there thinks chiropractic is part of the occult (evil) (wife was a office manager for chiropracter)
I never wanted to go back. I think the reason why I went back is that I started to have a relationship with god, it seems to be even closer now with Reiki. I want to learn about God, and they hold "classes" every sunday so I go. There are many things I dont agree with in the Church, but I have found common ground, mainly God, Jesus, Mary, prophets.
While I think anyone should be capable to hold mass, it is their club, and their rules right now. God has rules also.
Edgar Cayce say's (in readings) "That god is not found in any church or temple, but it is in you" So while it may not be nessary to belong to an orginized religon, I think it is a formal way to thank god, pray , learn about Jesus & Mary Saints etc.
Actually believe it or not, the POPE has devoted his life to the holy mother. This is the year of the Rosary and he added a new set of Mysteries.
Catholics do not idol worship.
What religon doesnt have a bloody past? Humanity has a bloody past.
