What Are the Pros and Cons of Being A Catholic?

Pro is you don't have to take the bible so seriously, you don't even have to read it. Con is you have to take the church seriously or you're out. But nevertheless I would say Catholics have it much easier because they generally don't take things so seriously. I think another pro is you don't have to invent things (interpret), for that you have 2,000 years of high-end theology to work for you (unlike the Protestant churches where everyone can interpret as they want and of course all are right). Personally I prefer Catholic, and I suppose one reason is that it's well organised (there's nothing wrong with organisation). Catholic church has changed, it now adapts more quickly (she's about to officially accept evolution and she owns a giant telescope in the USA somewhere). But I think the most advanced Christian church on the planet is the Anglican. That church rocks. Not that I believe in the Judeo-Christian mythology but I thought an answer from my perspective may help you a bit.
