Judging what people do including their rules, is not judging and condemning the people themselves

...I THINK YOU HAVE A GUILTY CONSCIENCE!

You may want to reread your comment.

So you want to judge the rules that Catholics follow in their Church created by Jesus that has grown for over 2000 years. Yes, we have our problems and we are sinners. Actually the Catholic Church wants sinners to come to our Church.

Yes, we are trying to follow Jesus so that we can join him in Heaven. We should all work towards that and help others.

We are not perfect, but I don’t feel that we are hindering others from seeking GOD by judging the tenets of a Church that they do not belong.

PEACE BE WITH YOU.

Ephesians 2:4-9 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

If you read my first comment on this thread, I started by saying I love the Catholic people and the last few Popes and greatly admire the charity work the Catholic Church does, especially in hospitals.

What I don't like are their man-made rules that put an artificial barrier between God and his beloved people who Jesus, His only begotten Son who He loves, died for.

If you can't tell the difference between judging people and judging people's actions, that's your problem, not mine.
