They also maintain that one can never leave their little fucking club which is little more than chutzpah because I can assure you that I have left it.
I (emphasis there since you don't get it ) make a distinction between those people who are smart enough to separate themselves from the criminal enterprise that is the church and THOSE DUMB SHITS who still show up on their fucking knees every Sunday and adhere to the absurdities of church doctrine. Those are catholics ( I actually agree with Herr Von Popenfuhrer on that one).
And they are dumb fucks.
I don't remember reading that Catholics who stop going to church are not considered Catholics by the Church, could i get a source ?
Holy cow i managed to find some info about it and it seems not going to Church is considered a "mortal sin". I stand corrected, so my apologies.

Yes, not attending the weekly brainwashing ritual is a "mortal sin". You're doomed to hell forever! But buttfucking altar boys will only get you an "Aw, shucks! You shouldn't do that."
The only reason it's a "mortal sin" is to scare the dimwitted into attending every week and filling up the collection basket.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

Nah, it's OK. Sorry so late in replying. I just worked like 10 something hours. Anyway, I'm only with her on weekends a couple times per month, so I doubt I would be very effective at this point. Besides, she's so young I don't think she would understand that I was trying to say it's all bologna. She's very talkative, so she would go blab something to the family. It would just be more of a headache than it's worth right now I'm afraid. I trust that if she's as smart as she seems to be, she will use her brain to get herself out of that wormhole like I did. Besides, someone else is basically raising her, so I feel the need to just defer to them for now.

Well, I think I should take a break too for a little while. I'm posting like I'm addicted. Do you know of a remedy?
