Guest Aluigi Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 one is not non-Catholic until God's grace has completed working on them, otherwise the only truely Catholic people would be the Church Triumphant. The Church Militant are on earth combatting their way towards heaven. They combat everything that threatens their faith, including their own skepticism, doubts, and unbelief. If you have trouble with a part of Church teaching that is perfectly fine, you are still Catholic. You cannot remain content with your unbelief and remain Catholic.
Norseman82 Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Well, if you ask me, I don't see how anyone could obey unless they had [i]some[/i] belief. After all, unbelief is rejection, and why would somebody obey that which he has totally rejected?
hyperdulia again Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 I offer the Church my obedience, because I beleve the larger truth (ie that She is the Bride of Christ), and because She iiiithe Mistress of the Sacraments and without being obedient to Her, She might deny me them.
