There are a ton of misconceptions about what is considered "moderate" catholocism in this thread. Being Catholic, and going through Catholic schools, from all the things i have learned in religion classes (a lot of you guys should go to some higher lvl catholic religion classes because you would learn a lot and answer a lot of your questions) the answer to the innitial question is easily yes, and it has nothing to do with being moderate and picking what we want to pick out of the bible.

But, this thread seems to have diverged along a different path a long time ago and im more concerned with how many people seem to have errant views on catholicism. One that stuck out (there were others) is when someone said that catholics believe that the bible isnt god's word exactly, but that it was written by humans with errors and misconceptions. Anyone who knows what they are talking abotu what it comes to catholicism knows that this is not true at all. Catholics believe that the bible is the "inspired word of god" and that it does not include human errors or misconceptions at all. Seriously, there are a lot of things that you guys are missing out on with catholicism...
