What specific Catholic teaching do you think needs to change more than any other?
I have a list. There are a number of things I think don't have any scriptural foundation, but keeps getting taught to us.
-
We NEED married priests. There are plenty of married Catholic priests already in the world. We need Latin Rite seminaries to open up to married men.
-
Catholics needs to acknowledge that Jesus had BROTHERS. It's in the New Testament in multiple places. The "ever virgin" concept of Mary, I'm not sure where it came from.
-
The Old Testament definition of homosexuality is vastly different from the way gays live in society now. I think that should be looked at. I will elaborate in comments if people want me to.
-
There is nothing wrong with birth control. Really. If a couple agrees to have children in their marriage, there is no reason they can't control how many they have.
That being said, I am a pretty happy Catholic. I send my kids to Catholic school and make mass more often than not.
This is not anti-Catholic rhetoric. I want this to be an actual discussion of things that CAN be changed without drastically affecting the faith.
