This immediately puts one at extreme odds with the RCC.
If you don't believe that the Pope is infallible you are in fundamental contravention of the articles of faith of the RCC!
Makes this part a bit difficult:
You can follow Jesus and still be Catholic.
​I would submit not....
I don't think there are any perfect churches. I don't attend my church because I believe everything that is in its Book of Discipline. I think Catholics are no different.

Book of Discipline? I've never heard of that. Could you explain what you mean?

Our church has a Book of Discipline. It outlines the rules of the church government and states how it feels on certain issues. Changes are made every four years when about a thousand chosen members get together somewhere. It's main function would be to tell churches how to set up their governing committees and what rules they have to follow. Other than that, I don't think many people pay much attention to it.

Plenty of non- Catholics on CC who preach that they are sin- free because that is the only way to be Christian

Maby we should consider ( I speak for germany) almost all protestants and catholics are just nominal christians and dont know that they must be born again. They almost believe they are christians because they were baptized as Babys.

The RCC(and orthodox and some other denominations) teaching of being "born again" is infant baptism.

What RC's need to understand is that God dwells inside of us continually when we repent and invite Him to dwell inside and surrender to His ways.

It seems some RCs think God is only inside when they take communion/Eucharist...which goes in the stomach(at best). :(

I don't know much about the catholic religion - I do know there are true Christians in there just like in every denomination that speaks of Christ's work.

There are many people that believe their "pastor" and what their "denomination believes " is infallible too so it's a common humanistic trait that is "universal"....pardon the pun.
right on grace seven seven seven seven seven . . .

I doubt that all Catholics believe the pope is infallible.
a lot of my family is Catholic and the concept of popes being infallible is kind of a joke to them. there were many good popes and there were also many popes that were rotten scumbags.

Well, a great part of my relatives are RCC. Inmidst of thEM, some are believe the RCC doctrine and think the good deeds finaly will help them. Others dont believe that the Pope is infallible. But it makes me sad, that even talking about Jesus is difficult with them. Yesterday I watched a RCC tv Station were they clear said only RCC is the true church of Jesus Christ. And that the bible is only written book, but the revelations through the Spirit to the Pope are much more important. And the Pope is the direct successor from the apostle Peter. RCC is really the World greatest cult and is betragen many people!

We don't know what the average Catholic believes. Just because my bishop believes something doesn't mean I believe it, and I guarantee you there are things my bishop believes in that I don't believe in.

Perhaps that is because you do not really know what the differences are...

Easy enough to find out though!
Your average person probably doesn't pay much attention to what the church leaders believe, and that is probably a good thing, because we shouldn't be following our church leaders - we should be following the Lord.

I think you bring up an excellent point. People here seem to believe the Catholics are all well versed in Catholic theology and believe all the things "they are supposed to believe," when the truth is probably that most of them know little about Catholic theology.

Maybe not,but theres a big difference between Catholic and Evangelical. Catholic church has too many false beliefs they have added over the years.They started out right then wandered off the path.

​You may be right,and therein lies the problem.
