[ I’m confused. On the one hand you seem to have a problem with Catholicism in general. ]

True you are.. I have a problem with sheep pens.. i.e. John ch 10..

Sheep pens, goat pens, vampire pens, pig pens and hyena pens.. etc..
Course I tend to paraphrase sheep pens into current american culture..

I have been to “churchs” of every size shape and demeanor..
Including synagogues, mosques, temples, shrines, and cathedrals..
house of God, house of prayer, pagoda, pantheon, place of worship..
sanctuary, tabernacle, altar, chancel, holy place, sanctorium, sanctum...

They all are very similar.. designer Gods.. with Used God Salesmen..
Most try to sell me something when all I want is for them to Show me Something..

Interesting that yours is the true Faith, because you are taking only from the Book. Unfortunately, the Book of John was written in approximately 90AD, presumably by a man who was worshiping the same way Catholics do today. If not, it was written at a time when the majority of Christians WERE worshiping exactly as Catholics do today. And they continued to do so for another millennium. In any case, multiple alternative Gospels were available in the 5th Century when the Catholic Church decided to limit the Canon to the Four that we are familiar with today. So, not only do you reject the way Christ's original followers chose to worship Him (including at a time when He was making personal appearances and might have corrected them), but you are also presuming that yours is in an intellect that recognized a flaw in their practice. Presumably they might have corrected a flaw they had seen in John's Gospel. Or left it out of the Canon entirely. They did not.

Or maybe you're the one who got it wrong.

On a personal note, I respect your decision to devote your life to God in your own particular way. The Catholic faith holds that Catholic Communion is not the exclusive path to Christ. Just the easiest and most direct by far.
