Actually, in fact, I do try to understand things. I have a hunch that you’ve probably never read anything that would contradict what you believe. I’ve read many things that explain things from both sides (the Catholic beliefs vs. the non-Catholic Christian beliefs)and I can see some points on both sides. I do not try to explain away things by making simplistic statements such as “you choose not to understand.” I have reasons for believing the way I do which are as valid as any I am sure you have. In fact, I believe we are to be able to give reasons for the hope that is in us. Yes, the Bible even says we are to have “reasons,” not just cliches.

You crack me up. First of all, I am a convert from active Protestantism. The more I studied the Bible, the more Catholic I became. I studied Catholicism for years and read reams of arguments against it and I’ve been active on FR religions threads for at least 8 years.
There is no slander against the Catholic Church that I haven’t read and there has been no-one who could prove to me where the Catholic Church was wrong, except their own opinion and topios.
I would hazard a guess that you haven’t really studied Catholic theology, you just disagree with what you’ve been told by those who are against it.
