By the way, everyone - especially the Christians on this forum who may not understand the difference between Catholicism and the other Christian faiths - As a Catholic, OCU ought to know that it isn't up to Catholics to interpret the Bible. It is up to the Church to do so. Biblical interpretations are what 'papal infallibility' refers to.

Those Catholics who do not believe what the Church teaches are still Catholics because they've been baptised as Catholics and can never undo that. However, they are what the church refers to as 'Bad Catholics.'

Baptism aside, a Catholic who disagrees with the Church's Biblical interpretations is not an adherent to Catholic principles. He is essentially a Protestant.

This is a subject OCU really needs to discuss with his priest - because if he sincerely believes in Catholicism, he needs to make some changes before he dies or he won't be going to Heaven.

Hey OCU - are you aware that the Catholic Church also has a definition of marriage? Just one. 

Marriage: A "covenant by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life and which is ordered by its nature to the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring. [It] has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament between the baptised." 

I just thought you'd be interested in knowing what it is that you're supposed to (but do not) believe.
