I was Catholic. and I made weekly offerings at morning Mass, all the way up until 2002 when I realized I was literally funding jackpot lawsuit judgments for victims of priests who like boy butt sex. And when they got caught at St. Philomena's the bishop moved 'em to fresh hunting grounds at Our Lady of Lourdes. The Church may be one, Catholic, and apostolic but she sure as shit ain't holy.
Hi again, LG. Yes, abuse and the cover up by church leaders was a terrible thing. It doesn’t affect my faith in God, nor my belief in Jesus Christ, nor the Church he founded. But nobody is immune from sinning. That’s why we have confession, but almost no one goes to confession any more. I do and find it very cleansing.
