No problem. The voting Catholics did not listen to their Bishops when they voted massively for the Marxists. My wife was born into a Catholic family. She went to mass and all throughout her early life. When her priest in Seattle got busted for child porn and messing with boys, she quit going. She was disgusted with the behavior of the priests in her church. She started going to church with me after we were married. She accepted Christ as her Savior and was baptized into the Southern Baptist faith and we attend our nice little Baptist Church here in Alabama, where we have a wonderful group of very old to young people in a church that was founded in 1852 on the location it stands today. The old wooden church building is long gone and replaced with a nice brick church. We have a great Pastor, that I met when we first moved into our new house. He was from my old high school and had finished the year after I did. He is a fantastic guy and preaches a great sermon. He does not scream, rant, jump around like some I have seen. He is very, very good. We go to both services on Sunday, and on Wednesday evenings we have a Bible study hour which he leads.

In my parish, we had two sex offenders on either side of an alcoholic who was laicized because he wouldn't admit he had a problem. It was disgusting, yes, but there was no question of putting trust in men before the Faith. I eventually left that parish in search of true Catholic teaching. I found it and a spiritual home in a parish that thrives on tradition. It's there. You just have to look for it and not let men get in the way.
