Ever meet a Catholic who was faithful to their duties?

In defense of all religious people not just Catholics--people are fallible. Human beings are flawed, and following a strict code of conduct would be a challenge for anyone. Even the most pious religious person will fall short.

The problem with religion is that it implies that being a decent human being can only be achieved through following a list of spelled out "rules," dictated by said religion.

And, that's not true. Altruism is a component of evolution, not an invention given to us by religions.

Those buddhists who starve to death and set themselves on fire seem pretty devout. Also muslims in afghanistan are very strict.
As for catholics I met lots of people who pretended to be ones.
