Have you heard the word of the Lord, today?

I finally "found" religion." Last night I stayed up late, reading to myself out loud and silently, too. I learned that the Roman Catholic Church distinguishes itself by insisting on the doctrine of Papal Infallibility, and has a very bureaucratic, ritualistic and redundant nature. "Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary." Then there is the Trinity, and there are the sacraments and the beatitudes, the latter of which I never even knew what the hail they are. "Blessed be, blessed be...." Protestantism, on the other hand, distinguishes itself by being in opposition to the Pope and the Vatican hierarchy, and Protestants, are in a sense, like Jews. They are another People of the Book, inasmuch as they take their cues about faith from the Bible, or one particular version thereof, rather than marching in lockstep with those who promulgate Church doctrine. Of course, there is also the distinguishing characteristic that Protestantism has about a thousand, or at least many, many hundreds of schisms, isms, denominations and sects, NOT sex! Then I checked out the article on Judaism - thank G*d I only had an old World Book encyclopedia from 1965 to draw upon, or I wouldn't have slept at all! Did you know....Jews have no Holy Head Honcho in Jerusalem, in the sense that Catholics do what the Pope says.... or else! Rabbis are really like teachers, and many of them are well-versed in non-religious subjects. There are so many other distinguishing features of Judaism; I never really cared enough, for example, about the major groupings - Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform. Plus, Jews really ARE the People of the Book - Oy Vey! The Torah, the Talmud, the Mishnah and everything written by Franz Kafka is their Guiding Light. Just kidding about Kafka, but Kafka war Jude. By the time I got to the volume that deals with the "Eastern Orthodox Church," my eyes were already starting to bug out. Simply TRY to figure out just how The Eastern Churches and the Roman Catholics differ - and how they believe in and practice SOME of the same things....and venerate some of the same people, and how reconciliation has been sought, just as many Protestant denominations have sought, in vain it would appear, to "Get back Together again." I DARE ya. I came away with only the dimmest "understanding" of Greek and Slavic Orthodoxy. BTW, just where can I get a copy of the Roman Catholic Bible - is it even available to infidels like me, the Blasphemer Supreme? And what about apostates, heretics? Or just guys and gals (like me) who are recently.... INTERESTED, in the most academic sense of the word? I swear to Gawd I've never seen one - do they keep the Catholic Holy Book, along with the Holy Spirit (whatever the Heck that is) strictly "All in the Family?" Not any such problems laying layman's hands on the Gideon, or the King James, or any number of Modern, Protestant English language bibles. Get a hotel room! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRsSfNXW01A
