This will take a while, but if you are interested, I encourage you to read the papal encyclical Fides Et Ratio:http://www.vatican.va/holy_fa….en.html

OBJECTOR: Catholicism is a dangerous religion because it depends solely on faith. Its beliefs are not based on reason and in some cases are even contrary to reason.
