I am one of those people who must continue to study and investigate. My current area of study is Catholicism. The one area I have the most problem with is, as one might expect, is the teaching on the virgin Mary. As an Anglican, I can accept calling her the Mother of God (Theotokos) and I will even give you that she was ever virgin. However, when it comes to the Immaculate Conception, the Assumption, and titles such as Co-Redemptrix and Queen of Heaven.....well I just cannot get past it.
I will continue my search and studies in this area. I know I may be chastised by friends and family for saying this, but I believe the Catholic Church has a lot going for it. There are just a few of their teachings I cannot wrap my brain around. At this time I am leaning toward the idea that the one true Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is either the Catholic Church or the Orthodox Church. I continue, sadly, to find more problems with Protestantism as I investigate these subjects.
