There is something called inspiration, which is kinda different from faith. And we cannot judge accurately what her relationship with God is as we really don't know her personally, even though she is outspoken on many things. What we see of her is simply a tip of the iceberg. Behind the cameras and lectures, I'm pretty sure she's a lot more than what she shows in public. As for the Roman Catholic Church's horrible history, what religion doesn't have one? People can choose who they can look up to depending on their own perception of things, and frankly I'm glad she draws much of her inspiration from unlikely Roman Catholic figures instead of the trending figures of influence like Hitler, Karl Marx, or Hegel. Not that I have a problem with them but honestly, seeing them mentioned on almost anything related to Social Sciences and Philosophy, it's getting common and boring.

@Michael Mardian More food for thought. The reformation divided God's kingdom. Now there are thousands of protestant churches that cannot agree with each other. Jesus prayed that we would all be one. This is why when something goes wrong in the Church you fix that thing you don't abandon the church and make up your own, which is what Martin Luther, and many others did. Jesus said the gates of hell will not prevail against his church, and they have not. The Catholic Church is protected by Jesus and holds the fullness of the truth. The church, not the Bible, is the pillar and foundation of the truth. 1Tim. 3:15 Don't get me wrong, the Bible is the infallible word of God, but nowhere in the Bible does it say that the Bible is the only source of truth. Jesus did not come here to write the Bible, he came to build His Church. The marks of the true church are that it is one, holy, Catholic (or universal)and Apostolic. No other church fits this description, except for the Catholic Church. It is the Catholic Church that decided what books would go into the Bible. It wasn't put together for decades after Jesus died. What do you think they did in those decades without the Bible? They preached, as Jesus taught them. Look at 2 Thes 2:15; "So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us." The oral teaching of Christ and his apostles is viewed in the New Testament as authoritative. Written by Oliver Piers.

@@suew4609 All organized religion is corrupt. Notice it is all from the top down. Jesus said it is not to be so among us.

We are called to Worship God. This is what joins us to him. We glorify many things but only Worship him. When you worship anything else you leave the first Commandment. He created The Catholic Church in order to show us the way to worship God.

Without sacrifice you have no worship.
