Because you never made your momma's faith your own.
Faith is not about what churchmen do or don't do. It's about your own relationship with the Son of God who saved you.
It would be a very useful thing, over the next three days, to find where you left that relationship and pick it up again.
And my relationship with The Lord is fine. The Catholic Church is lost. I am Christian. I am also an American. A citizen of the nation that has promoted the fairest and best way of life ever known to man. Also the nation that has sent forth millions to spread the word of Jesus far more than any other.
But the RCC is not what Jesus had in mind. Art treasures? Property? Indulgences? All are a big part of the Church. But they don't feed the poor or spread the true word.
If Jesus came back today, he would chase the bishops out.
Time for the Church to realize that we Americans respect our laws. Illegal means illegal.
