"Sometimes I wonder why I'm catholic."

With all due respect, after all of the sexual abuse imposed on little boys by so many Catholic Priests, I don't see how anyone could still be a Catholic.

Sorry, but every Catholic Priest I see, I wonder..........

Yes, it's so hard to be a catholic, yet I'm sure it has always been hard going all the way back when Jesus was born and established the church. Many followed Him and the church he established but most left and continue to leave. I'm not one to leave no matter how nutty the bishops are here in the US.

Catholicism is not about the behavior of priests. It is about the Church through which Christ guaranteed He would be with us until the end of time.

Leaving a Church because one is upset that it is made up of sinners seems to be missing the point of what the Church is about.
