IMHO, there are two ways to look at faith: believing "in" Jesus, and believing "about" Jesus. Believing the right things "about" Jesus is easy -- all we have to do is buy and memorize a few books or find a web site that agrees with whatever it is we think. We can then judge others whose faith is much weaker than ours because we know the right things, which BTW can only be found in the RCC, so they say. Its nice to have all the answers on how others should live.

Believing "in" Jesus is difficult because it involves commitment to Jesus as a person, IOW having a prayerful relationship with him that impacts how we live every day. Then, there is always the doubting and the questioning which are part of the journey. "The church says" doesn't work anymore, except for those who focus on believing about Jesus.

Recent popes have emphasized that our commitment is to the person Jesus, not to doctrines or rules. Not sure how much +T knows much about the folks' real lives.
