Who cares?
It is more than obvious that the Catholic religion, like so many others, is just a bizarre cult that has completely outlived its usefulness. It is astounding that in the 21st century otherwise intelligent people actually believe in it, or think that its weird rituals and silly rules have any relevance to either real spirituality or modern life.
I mean, people, even if you read and believe the bible you discover that the hero of this religion was all about tearing down institutions which claimed to have the inside track on God's word, not supporting them. Now, those who profess to follow him do just what he railed against and warned about.
It has always fascinated me that the deeply felt urge to gain spiritual understanding finds expression in religion which then becomes the biggest obstacle to gaining that understanding. Odd.
