Isn't that what I already answered though? Lol.
I don't agree with it. For the reasons I stated above. Money can be better spent elsewhere, and certain political issues are best left solely as political issues, not religious ones, imho.
I guess I should have asked differently: has it, or things like it (ex: covering for and relocating pedophile priests) made you second guess whether you should pay tithes to the RCC?
This is embarrassing but I didn't know what tithes meant haha. Just had to google it.
The answer is no. There are always going to be people within the Church and even in the hierarchy who are bad people or who do things I don't agree with, just like in any other group. I still believe in the sanctity of the Church, and I still think they do a lot for charity and help people in need, even though they don't always do things I agree with.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
