"17 I appeal to you, brethren, to take note of those who create dissensions and difficulties, in opposition to the doctrine which you have been taught; avoid them. 18 For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by fair and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the simple-minded. 19 For while your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, I would have you wise as to what is good and guileless as to what is evil; 20 then the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you." --Romans 16
I used to be of the mentality that Church teachings were optional. Helpful, perhaps, but if I thought I knew better, then I would just disagree with Church teachings. Today, we call this mentality "liberal Catholicism".
However, I had a question come to mind that has changed me away from liberal Catholicism. I wanted to bring it up here, to see what sort of answers liberal Catholics can give:
Why do I know better than the Church that Jesus Christ established? Why is my own thinking superior to the teaching of people who spend far more time investigating how God wants us to live?
May God bless us all & lead us to the truth!
