Nope. But although I am Catholic, I don't put my faith in the earthly church, but in God.
2 :
This is exactly why, we are to put our faith in God through Jesus Christ, and not a church or religion.

if i want to pray and i am sincere in my quest i do not have to go into a gilded house.....*(church) i can do it at home, in the field under a tree or when i walk my dog. And i do not believe very much what my namesake in the Vatican is doing, he is out of touch with the world, unfortunately to many ARE listening and are obedient to him.

Yes, I think that the Catholic Church changed its ways, and that it is working for our interests. It had a few problems in the past but nowadays I noticed that everything is good and that there is no "evils" anymore like in the past, I think its due to the new way of thinking, a new way of working and organisation. Hope my answer helped you.

I do not consider the Catholic Church itself to have ever committed evils; but many of it's members certainly. As a Catholic I am pleased in the Church for been the prime mover in Ecumenism if even so once slow to start; and also with the many direct explaining of Christ's teaching to signs of the times; here and now. I do consider that even though so very complex; allowing priests who were married; yet having their children at the youngest of an age able to act independently as adults could and would address the declining numbers of priests. As Catholicism slowly continues to grow in population. I love my Church. It's my Community, my Family and my Communion with God within the faithful.

<<Catholics, do you have complete faith that your Church is working for your interests?>> Yes. <<Despite the Catholic Church's innumerable evils in the past, do you believe it has changed it ways, and if so, why?>> What "innumerable evils"? What "changed ways"? <<Source: Former Australian Ambassador to the Vatican>> Yeah, "former". Big deal.

The Catholic faith is not evil.It is the church established by Christ. Christ did not created many church only one.Men make things evil.

Absolutely!!!! Why? 1) Matt 16:18-19 2) GOD promises to leave us with someone (Holy Spirit) 3) GOD promises to be with HIS Church for all time So, again... Yes I do... Also, I highly doubt that an Ambassador would spend his time, asking questions on Yahoo Answers... hahahahah

No, honestly it seems like the Vatican is usually more concerned about what they think rather than the people, they try to force things like the awful new translation with grammatical errors upon all the people of the english speaking world when they don't even speak english. How can they expect bad grammer to renew the faith of the people, when it makes no logical sense? When did jesus ever speak in ways the people could not easily understand?
