Should the vatican call me for an explanation, im happy to give them one. Until then, i'll join the tens of millions or hundreds of millions of other catholics who share my opinions and encourage the church to revisit its postions.

Ultimately on many issues i think that comes down to a private conversation between an individual and God.
Sure, but here's the thing:

If you don't support the Vatican's stance on contraception, women, or homosexuals (among other issues), you can't be a Catholic. That's not me just saying that; that's the official position of the Church itself. If your priest was aware of your views, he'd likely deny you communion or even excommunicate you.
