Where maher and his priests stop their pursuit of truth is at the door step of real proof of God. Both the priests and maher believe that the RC church is the gold standard of God and because the RC church is fatally flawed causing people like maher and his priests to loose faith in God. But, what if the RC Church was not the God's Gold standard? What if not one specific version of Christianity had it all right? What if none of them have it right and yet all Jesus Christ centered religions have it right? in that God seeks relationships and not mindless tradition and empty ceremony?
Your buddy bill is working form a 1/2 truth and for whatever reason will not/can not seek God past the easy target that is the RC church. If he just sought God beyond the church he would find Him, as would those priests.
