Good exists - a Catholic comments

[Barry]

Welcome to the forum.

I did my time in the Catholic Church and schools.  They weren't able to sell me their story.  Too many things make no sense...I looked for it to make sense, I wanted it to make sense...you can have it; if you are able to deal with the hypocrisy.  

The Church was so bad that it ruined my attempts to find another flavor of church because I thought you had to belong to one.  Nope, that ship had sailed.

Thanks for the welcome. I also “did my time” in Catholic schools. I think they did a terrible job “selling me their story” too.
It’s no wonder that only 10% max of baptised Catholics in Australia where I live and  Europe attend the weekly Mass. it’s fast heading towards 5% which is 1% of the Australian population. I attended a few big evangelical churches , just to observe, and found them very shallow and money focussed. 
I think the Catholic Church is the one true church. And has all the answers, unpopular as they may be in an increasingly secular world. But they are not very good at explaining them today.
All the best,
Barry
