i hope i don't offend anyone

i hope i don't offend anyoneok so... i came across this article.
i've been thinking a lot about this. 1. i hope and pray that i am not a Cafeteria Catholic. that is to say, according to the post and as i understand it so you, some of my non-Catholic audience can understand, a "pick and choose" Christian. yet, that leads into my next point. 2. now, i don't want to be uncharitable by any means, so i don't want to bash anyone's church or beliefs or whatever... but the more i think about it and the more God works with me and the more i've pursued my Christian faith... well it was His Catholic Church who was the most responsive to my needs and my growth in Christ. i don't want to make this about me though, as that's exactly what the linked blog talks about... but so often i see my protestant brothers and sisters struggling, hurting and i think... is part of their spiritual sickness due to the fact that they are not Catholic... that they aren't a faithful, practicing Catholic? i'm not saying that God can't or won't work amazing thing in a non-Catholic's life. i do take some comfort in the fact that when protestant "beat the Bible" so to speak that they are in fact in directly seeking Christ through His Church (questions about this? ask me). yet, how much more is God willing to help you if you submit to the fullness of His plans through His Holy Church? it leads me to believe that is protestants (some, not all) who are in fact the pick and choosers. they limit God by binding Him into the pages of the Bible. a dear dear friend of mine told me recently that he just wanted to be the best Christian he can. i sooooooo wanted to tell him that if he just gave Catholicism a real shot, his spiritual growth would be amplified more than he could ever imagined. now, i'm not saying that Catholics are the best Christians. we're all still broken people...yet, the Catholic Church is Christ's Chruch, and there's even Biblical support of that, for those who don't believe me (matthew 16:18-19). granted, i've only asked one person, that same friend, what he makes of those verses, to which he replied he didn't know. i imagine that if i were to ask Cru staff members or other highly respected protestants about those passages that they might try to point out other things that Christ teaches, that are more important. and i understand that. it'd be like me at the buffet mentioned in postand i might have something on my plate. so i go and ask another who is there and they recommend something else... or they more than recommend, but they do exactly what the post indicates not to do, or accuses "cafeteria catholics" of doing: going back to the line and getting the same thing. idk how many times i've been told the same verses over and over again. and it's not just about the Bible either... there's soooooooo much that protestants don't even know about that we faithful Catholics engage in for the betterment of our relationship with Christ. i mean, the idea of protestantism and even puritanism is that they thought the Catholic Church was getting too inclusive, and that they had to purify Her... when it really is a banquest that God offers us. He offers us so much more than the Bible itself (ironically the Bible doesn't even offer itself)... i know i just went on a big rant just now, but i'll end with this short prayer

May we as those who Love You, Lord, not buy into the Fast Food diet that offers us quick pleasures but leaves us with regreat. May we not purchase the Starvation diet that only appears holy and good and right but leaves us sick and dead and preoccupied with ourselves. May we approach the Banquet with a simple plate, humbly accept what we can fit and enjoy it, and regularly go back for the next course. May this prayer, these words that some may only skim and some may never read be true for all aspects of our life, our worship, our spirituality, our religion, and our relationship with you. in the Name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen
