Also I don't know what you mean about the "whole organization". Catholicism is a religious belief, and the Catholic Church is made up of all of us Catholics. My beliefs on dogmatic teachings are separate from whatever actions may be taken by certain groups of people who work within the Church. So it doesn't make sense that I would all of the sudden stop believing that Jesus is the son of God conceived by the Holy Spirit, etc etc, and everything else, due to what others have done.
Believing in Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit makes you no different from Jews, Mormons, Witnesses of Jeohva, etc.
That's why I said "etc etc, and everything else." Also, Jews would not be in that category.
"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."
