It's been suggested -- okay, said outright -- that we do not, and instead look to priests and saints for our salvation.
Funny, I always thought we relied upon Christ for that.
But the concept of "owning" our spirituality -- anyone, not just Catholics -- seems rather odd to me. Particularly in the context of Christian spirituality, isn't owning it contradictory? If we are Christian, we freely give everything we are to Christ, and rely on Him fully.
So in the interest of clearing the air on this -- upon what, or Who, do Catholics rely for our salvation? And is "not taking ownership of our spirituality" a valid accusation? Please take into consideration not only your own knowledge but also "cultural" Catholicism, as I believe negative experience with this may be the basis of the assertion.
