Invective on "True" Catholicism

If you are reading this and you are a religious person (mostly a catholic) it might make you a tad angry or shocked in what I am saying. I am not judging your personal religious values I am simply putting mine into context of what i have seen because I am a Cultural Catholic and I am happy to be one!

"True" Catholicism is nothing but an excuse to be able to say I live a catholic lifestyle. You don't. Either assimilate with us or go to Hell. That is a tad extreme, but to be honest it is very true.  I am a catholic and the sermon (where the priest expands the gospel reading into everyday life for those who did not know) in one of the masses talked about how we, as catholics are either cultural or true "Roman" Catholics.
      What is a true roman catholic you might add? Well, according to my priest, it is a catholic who follows ALL rules and blah blah blah. To sum things up, it is basically saying that you have to live a catholic LIFESTYLE. In other words, you obey the bible in everyway and live according to it in a Roman Catholic ideology. A cultural catholic, on the other hand, is someone who has religion for spiritual purposes instead of a lifestyle. They interpret the bible the way that they see it and they go to church for simple purpose of spiritual guidance. They do not always follow the bible and when they do, it is more of a tale of sorts. They look at the main idea and the moral instead of obeying it word by word.
   These catholics are the ones frowned upon. They are always gettting bashed because "real" Catholics should follow ALL the verses as they are written. This is where Catholicism pretty much falls apart when you break things down. For instance, this idea of Cultural Catholics and "True" Catholics is hypocritical. For one thing the priest talks about the gospel IN HIS INTERPRETATION. He also addresses the MAIN IDEA and the MORAL. Moreover,  he tells us that the bible is not subject for personal interpretation while he blabbers on about his view on it. Yes, we know the bible is the Holy word but God himself did not write it. PEOPLE wrote it which means those people interpreted their views of God differently. There are no Gospels of God. So we are telling Cultural Catholics to become "True" Catholics based off of personal interpretations found in the bible. However, isn't a true Catholic the ones who are like the followers of Jesus in the old times? The ones who interpreted God's and Jesus' word differently. If thats the case, aren't the Cultural Catholics the True Catholics anyway?
    It is unjust to judge how people are religious and how they should live accordingly. That was in the old days. This is the 21st century!! Catholicism needs to stop judging its own people's faith and instead, be glad that most people have faith in the first place. The Catholic community is not to blame here. Catholicism itself is. It needs to stop being hypocritical and move up to modern ways of life. Stop judging your own people and instead let them be spiritual in their own way.

Good ol bumper stickers

The other day, I found a rather hilarious bumper sticker that may be a tad bit rude. But in the end its hilarity wins my heart over. It stated:

"I miss my Ex, but my aim is improving."

The ideology that I found behind this is that ex's are always disliked. Most of us have had a  past relationship that makes us think "OMG WHAT WAS I THINKING!?!?!?"  In a common topic standpoint this makes sense:
Do bad relationships exist in most of our pasts?
Is it possible that through human instinct and nature that having a bad relationship will happen quite a lot?
In what degree are Ex's valued?

In honor of my blog title, I will not answer these questions cause they are rhetorical. :)
