Catholic Community on the Jersey Shore
There are many teachings of the Catholic faith that are seen as bigoted, misognynist, impractical, outdated and oppressive.
That is the opposite of the truth!!
Our Church teaches with 2000 years of wisdom of the human condition as revealed by God and guided by the Holy Spirit. Its goal? JOY!!!
Our Church wants us to be free, to not become slaves to sin:
The issues that gain the most attention are abortion, assisted suicide. same-sex marriage, contraception, pornography, gender identity, co-habitation
In each case, the Catholic Church takes a strikingly positive view, whereas the secular beliefs are all quite neagtive.
Catholic Credo: ALL HUMANS HAVE INHERENT DIGNITY BY VIRTUE OF BEING MADE IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD!!!
