Do you believe that the cracker you eat at Mass turns literally into the flesh of Jesus Christ who died two thousand years ago?
You don't. You know you don't. We know you don't.
The Church is certainly fallible. You cannot admit that because it is the chink in the dam.
Yes, I believe those things.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
