The first thing I want to say is that I don’t want any comments about the Pope or Mary or purgatory or confession or anything like that. I have questions about and problems with those as well, but this post is not about them.
I myself am not Catholic. If asked why, I would probably say my parents raised/are raising me as an Evangelical. But when I am old enough that my parents do not choose my church, I will still be Evangelical. Why? Because I believe it follows the Bible most closely. And if I learn otherwise, I’ll do something about it. (Not sure quite what yet.)
