If you don't respect or believe in these things, then don't become a Catholic. I get tired of people saying how outrageous and crazy Catholics are, when Catholic beliefs don't have any significance in their life. There are plenty of religions and sects that I consider to be full of wack jobs, but I don't care, because they have nothing to do with me.
Is it because people feel threatened by Catholicism?
