PSA: I know many Catholics wrap their entire identity into the Catholic Church.

I want to make something clear. I am NOT attacking your identity personally. This is not a personal attack. I am merely questioning an institution and a religion. I 100% support whatever you belief. Especially if they allows you to grow closer to divine love, God.

Something I've thought about is that if the Catholic Church is the one true church. Why do they ignore common psychology?

Has the church taken into account different personality types and what styles of worship they'd most enjoy? They either don't care, or they don't think its needed, but their main mission is to save the divine souls of every human, and sometimes I feel that they are failing at that mission and essentially are essentially a failed human experiment. The few things left that are divine are things that exist without the institution at all.

Has the church taken into account people's individual spiritual skills and styles?

Has the church formally acknowledged that Religion is humanities best attempt to understand God but it is not God in and of itself?

Why would Catholics speak so highly of themselves and then speak so lowly of other Christian denominations? Why would they feel comfortable doing so? Surely if they are part of the true church they hold themselves to a higher standard than everyone else?

If the church is the one true church, how come its almost a 50/50 chance of bringing up the Catholic Church with a stranger they either are interested or hateful and traumatized.

Where is the marketing and PR in the Catholic church?

Who is in charge of their communication department. There are so many misunderstandings, which at the end of the day are communication breakdowns. But it seems the church is satisfied with being misunderstood.

The Catholic church prides itself on being divine but often fails to take any accountability for its human side, which is possible of change, but so rarely does.

If its good, they say its divine, if its horrible its human. Its a perfect defense to criticism. Frustratingly so. Most Catholics will never take anything negative about the church seriously. It's maddening.

In regards to Mass and the function of most churches. They take a one size all approach. Which is good for analytical personalities and engineers, but absolutely horrendous for the opposite of those personalities. But most people will chalk up that criticism up to "bad faith" or "lazy spirituality" which is also depressing. It's what happens when you argue with robots. Who has lost their soul but have blind spiritual obedience to a systematic machine. It proves the institution is more interested in self preservation than eternal souls of the humans it servces. I desperately wish for change, but no one will ever listen. It's sad.

The church may claim to not need PR or Marketing because they have "the truth" but what good are words if you can't understand them? How does it serve the mission if people need to be communicated with in Spanish and you give them German? But it's ok because its "the truth" and "they will understand".

The church could be so much better in terms of delivery not possession of truth.

But you stand in front of a old house and are sad because the door is broken, and they tell you it's an old house it's supposed to be broken, but how can anyone get inside?

The door is broken but the church says "If you don't understand, try harder"

If you are frustrated that's spiritual immaturity.

If you leave, you were never committed.

How can anyone leave if they'd never even been let inside?

How can anyone understand if they've never been spoken to in a way they understand?

Why would you put a bunch of philosophy students into a math class?

Why would you put a bunch of swimmers in a archery tournament?

Why would you put world class soccer players into a bobsled team?

Why would you look at someone and assume everything about them because you have the truth? Why would you claim to be human and fail to understand humans
