Many, many people manage to check the boxes of that entire list and not even be Catholic. Too bad for the writer to be so upset at the ultimate meaning of the religion she thinks she professes. The church doesn’t give you “rights”: the church leads you to grace.

“The church doesn’t give you “rights”: the church leads you to grace.”

Thanks. That was a most wise comment.

Bears repeating.

Still, the church has some connection with rights, in that God is the source of all rights, and nothing that is offensive to God could possibly be a right.
