My self, along with many fellow Catholics, have the opinion that no, they do not.I think there is some kind of communication breakdown here. I think that you are using the word "opinion" in the place of the word belief. If this is the case, then you should really buy a dictionary.
Opinion- a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.
Belief- an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists.
Do those terms seem synonymous? Here are some examples:
Opinion- I like the taste of bread.
Belief- I do not accept that bread exists.
Your opinion does not affect the natural world, however your belief, if correct does.
