It sounds more like an individual's crisis of faith than an example to be used to define all Catholics. Catholics read and study the Bible. The Gospel is read at services and the priest builds his sermon from the chosen Gospel passage. <br />We can't define a whole group of people from one individual.<br /><br />Christ died for our sins. However, we also need to embrace Jesus's teachings and put in the effort not to sin, to repent when we do sin, and serve others as Jesus did. How can we be his followers and truly accept salvation if we do not live by his example?

The isolated tribes have NO immunity against the diseases most Westerners are carriers of. The "missionaries" may not be sick but their very present in tribal lands can cause death to the tribes; these diseases can and are LETHAL. <br /><br />Free speech goes both ways. The isolated tribes have a right to decide for themselves how to live, what to believe in and to remain in isolation. Their rights of self-determination supersede some American's dream of missionary work. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-14415981898779967512018-12-10T11:13:48.017-06:002018-12-10T11:13:48.017-06:00@9:01 You talked with "a Catholic" and ...@9:01 You talked with "a Catholic" and because she had doubts, you assume every Catholic is unsure, too?

Yes, there were treaties along with the wars, but the Native American's idea of the "rights" to land was different than the European's idea. You see which group ultimately prevailed, mainly through use of force. <br /><br />The Indian tribes had already set up their own systems of government, agriculture, trade, and religion. So yes, they had established this land as their country, in that sense.

Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, I wouldn't dream about telling the Duggars that they should convert to Catholicism as their religion wasn't the proper one, it's their religion, their belief & they are entitled to believe what they want as are the rest of us, including the predominantly catholic people of Central America. It's good they take clothes & toys for the children but they should leave well alone with the religion.
