But what is 'the true religion'? undecided

The way I see it, maybe there are so many things that we may not agree on in terms of doctrine. However, I would say that we learn to have our own convictions and not use our own preferences to judge others unnecessarily. I cannot hide the fact that there are many things I've benefitted from Catholic scholarship. The rest that I don't understand, I ask God for understanding since my own practice is not the authority for all other Christians.

As regards what is 'true religion', the only time I remember coming across something close to that connotation in Scripture is in James 1:27 where it says that "pure" and "undefiled" religion before God the Father is to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. In that case, I think that many Catholics tick the boxes on that.

What do you think?

Go and ask the Pope and he will tell you that Catholicism is not a dope but a religion of hope!

there is no such thing as the "true religion"

religion is :Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.
A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.
The life or condition of a person in a religious order.
A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.
A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

the goal should not be to practice religion. religion is man-made.
the goal should be to be spiritual. spiruality is God-made

Practicing ones religion is an individual affair. Asking if Catholics practice their religion is like asking the egg and the chicken, which came first.
