Questioning the Pope

Muzzling the media? Trying to prevent a revealing light on the centuries-long evils of the Catholic church when a responsible and free newspaper reports the facts? Call them liars? What manner of things is this from a church which claims to follow Christ? As an enlightened catholic,I was gratified to read Clark Hoyt's rebuttle to the accusations that Times reporters are liars. The church is aghast to realize that now anyone can publicly and correctly question its practices. To the Catholic Church I say. "You are not a shepherd. We are no longer your docile sheep." (Such an insulting metaphor) We don't trust your magical thinking: Limbo (where unbaptized babies are sent for eternity), Confessions to your clergy, Guardian Angels, Purgatory,(where you are sent to burn away your venial sins before you are admitted to heaven), Infallibility of Popes, Canonization of Saints and the demand of celebacy for priests. We are often embarrassed to remember how much of your doctrines we once swallowed. Now we think for ourselves Get used to it.
