thebellman,
don't pin yourself down on specifics. I'm roman catholic too, and I went to a roman catholic school. My own teacher, a catholic minister taught me at the age of 14 things I won't forget:
The Virgin Mary, may or may not have been a virgin in the sense we attribute to the word today. But that doesn't diminish her figure, her stature as the mother behind Jesus, the one that supported him, the one that always kept her faith.
The same way, you can listen to critics saying: He may not have been entirely dead etc. But does that really take away from the message He tried to bring across? Does it make him or his ideas any less?
As for doubting the existence of God and Heaven... There Noodles is right, it's something you have to work out for yourself.
Just keep this one thing in mind: questioning your faith is not a bad thing per se. If you scrutinize it, and it holds up, then it's all the stronger afterwards.
