The Dark Side Of Catholicism

Many people will most probably be surprised that I actually bought and am now in the process of reading this book.

I saw this book I think about a year ago.It was in this bookstore at Eastwood.I forgot the name.No, not Powerbooks.The smaller one, beside Starbucks, I think.Anyway, my mom refused to buy it for me then.The title explains why my mom didn't want to buy it for me.haha.I've had my eye on this book for quite a while now and pretty happy that I was finally able to buy it.Using my mom's money. :) She doesn't know though.Hehe.My sister had to go to National earlier in the evening to buy a school book and she was gonna use a card to pay for it.Besides, my mom gave me permission to buy a book.So technically, I'm not doing anything wrong.Ngayon ko lang nakita tong book in another bookstore.So i grabbed the chance to buy it. :) My sister was actually hesitant to buy the book for me.

Siguro nagtataka kayo no?Kung bakit I'm so keen on reading it.Well...just because.Haha.Joke :)

I'm a Catholic.I'm assuming everyone I know knows that.Everyone also knows that I love being a Catholic. :) I don't go to mass regularly, but I go when I can.I pray often.I pray before I eat and before I sleep.

But here's the thing: I believe (reflection paper na to) that you can't completely accept a certain religion without first knowing the flaws in it.

The book's purpose is not to convert Catholics to another religion.It just allows Catholics to see what's really happening behind the scenes...why we have so many dogmas regarding Mary, why Peter was the 1st pope, what Christians did to the Jews and a whole lot of other stuff (I haven't read the whole book yet) You will be surprised at the capability of Catholics to do evil.The things they even thought of doing...some they actually did do.There are just so many things we believe in right now which are actually contrary to what the Bible says.

I guess every religion has a flaw.One way or another.It's just that most religions like to hide it from the public.I really don't see why.When in the end, it always is and will always be a matter of faith.
