By K. Albert Little, Patheos - The notion that Catholicism is a religion of rules is patently untrue… Catholicism has rules, certainly, like every single religion, discipline, or program that promises any sort of life-changing dimension to it. But these rules aren’t to be blindly or mindlessly followed, they aren’t the end itself, and they aren’t intended to exalt anybody in the eyes of anybody else… The rules are a means to an end and, if anything, the rules are meant to humble… And utterly transform.
