Blessings to you as well.

I'm very glad that I returned to church. The problem, if there is one, is in the minds of those who oppose the church and in the minds of catholics who are no longer practicing in any meaningful sense.

To change the subject a bit, have you ever noticed that catholics who are angry at the church almost always seem to be able to trace their anger to a specific incident where the church, or more specifically a priest, failed to sanction their (mis)behavior? It's as if they were saying: "since the church won't agree with my conduct, I'm going to take my marbles and leave."

Without a doubt I have seen that over and over again.

They often want to relate the problems of the church as a whole to a specific priest. Not at all logical, and something they have to work through.
