So you call yourself Catholic

It amazes me that so many U.S. Catholics feel that they can disagree with the Pope on just about everything, and still be Catholic. I was raised Catholic, and I know that the Popes rarely issues infallible decrees - but come on people! If you don't want to follow the Pope's less than infallible decrees, become Presbyterian (Anglican for our friends in Great Britain). It's Pope free Catholicism. If you really feel a need to have a Pope, you're sort of stuck with Papal decrees. So decide how you really feel, and act on it. Don't just sit there and moan because you don't like the way the Church wants you to live your life.
