Really Iron you cannot hope to go throw dust in our eyes by merely reciting biblical poetry. The church is shaped by what well meaning men (and not women which you may care to explain) hope and suspect to be closest to what Christ had envisioned for it. After the Pope himself has said that we are all morally disordered we are to trust that we have tumbled sidewards into it and ended up with the right policy by fluke?First, let me be clear that I have no personal interest in you remaining a Catholic. These attention-seeking challenges dont fire me with anything, k bro? Also if you knew the faith that you claim to be a member of, you'd know that reconciliation is a big part of it and is sourced from Christ's own words to His disciples. Further to that, the Church is the body of Christ on earth. There is no conflict.
I dont feel like addressing your point on 'capitalism' beyond referring you to the commandment to not steal. This presupposes private property.
We have no idea of what the deepest depths of christ contain. By all means Rome should have its view but the views bar the most fundamental are weak, changeable, guess work. It is pretty damn clear that we're supposed love , forgive and believe but beyond that we really we are guessing. Rome has some wonderful, glorious ideas and i fear time will show it also has some things completely wrong. "Catholics catholics ring the bell, protestants protestants go to hell" Another flawness era of the catholic church?
