[Augustine23561]

First of all, true Catholics believe it to be ‘God’s Law’, not ‘Catholic law’. There is such a thing as canon law which is merely disciplinary (think no meat on Friday, celibacy for priests, etc.). Generally speaking, things which are considered evil in themselves are seen as forbidden by God (this would include extramarital sex, abortion, and contraception), while meat on Friday and priests being married are not evil in themselves. Secondly, those who disagree with anything that the Church has authoritatively and consistently taught as doctrine HAVE already put themselves outside the Church. The Church does not stand guard at the door and say ‘do you believe in all of it? — then come in’. Everyone is welcome at Mass. Catholicism has traditionally required that its adherents subordinate their personal judgements to those of the teaching Church — ask all the questions you want, but in the end, be humble enough to subordinate your intellect and will to God through His Church.
