I share that sentiment. My closest friend for decades is the most devout Catholic I have ever met (more than some priests and nuns I have known).
I nevertheless have problems with the Catholic Church, not only doctrinal but procedural. As a semi-professional chorister, I have sung in Catholic churches and cathedrals many times in both America and Europe (sometimes paid, usually gratis). I ceased to do so where I live because the local diocese decided that I, a celibate Christian male (and virgin, it so happens) would not be allowed to use the Men’s Room while boys who might use the facility were in the building.
I see: The Catholic Church conceals and indulges homoerotic pedophiles, gets caught for doing so for decades, refuses to adequately address the Elephant in the Sanctuary, and then punishes all men - ALL MEN, including innocent laity - instead of rooting out the rot within the clergy. That alone proves that communistic one-size-fits-all, lowest-common-denominator philosophy has overtaken the Catholic Church, quite apart from the attitude and behavior of the current Pope.
I was not about to approbate that unChristian injustice; I have refused to sing there ever since.
By the bye, I was raised in the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. Having been trained by parochial schooling and having served in church ministry, I have over the years met scores of clergy in many denominations.
I was sent to church so that my stepmother and her boyfriend could have some ‘adult time’ in the tiny house we lived in. It turned out to be a formative influence, it was a humble little non-denominational Bible church way out in the Redwoods in the middle of nowhere.
Bible study, worship and fellowship with a weekly country potluck. No BS, no politics, just The Word and taking care of each other.
I miss it terribly.
