Then that is very unfortunate, Egan. I would say they were not following Christian principles by circumcising as Paul makes it very clear that to not circumcise is a sign of faith in Christ and historically it separated the Christians from the Jews . As an outsider, all I can say is that it seems to me that the USA is a breeding ground for Christian fanatics and sects. Anyone can go out and set up a church and claim it is based on the Bible, when their teachings actually very little represent Christ. The Bible warns about this.

If I can get better from mercury poisoning, I am thinking of becoming ordained as a Catholic priest and starting a church in the USA that will be conservative, but most importantly will teach people about God's love for them. I don't agree with "all" the doctine of Catholicism (in general not Roman exclusively) but I think it's a dangerous thing for individuals to just go and start up churches without any formal blessing or education. I would have to do seminary and training and be ordained in apostolic succession. Not even all those ordained by apostolic succession teach the Bible accurately, but it's the ability of just anyone to go out and start up any kind of church teaching anything, that leads to extremism.

Catholics are generally united in doctrinal beliefs. What we differ on is the infallibility of the Pope and some other things like birth control. Independent, Old and Liberal Catholics are free of the Vatican.
