I am not a Catholic, but I respect every religion and every sects and sub-sects that exist and strongly believe that if nothing is professing or encouraging harm and disharmony, all forms of belief should be allowed to function smoothly and without any criticisms. Yes, sometimes, criticisms can be helpful as it helps minimize wrong thoughts and ideas and clear the vision, to provide space to accommodate new learning and insights, but not always can such success be achieved through criticism. Sometimes endurance, respect, and understanding must combine and create a platform that allows the opportunity for improvement.
