We were too busy building a new society in Utah that left us no time for theology. So when we go up against Catholic theology, which developed over two millennia, we get dwarfed and stomped on.

Becoming Catholic is the last thing I would become. Becoming agnostic would be much more probable.
All I have to do is to think of the Great Borgia and the authority issue makes me laugh that God would still authorize such a church. Now I appreciate the Catholic Church being a repository of great knowledge and its humanitarian efforts but the Great Borgia of about 1492 makes believing in the institution impossible. Rodrigo was his name.
