No. As a Catholic, I'm free to say that most Catholics are CINOs. They say they are Catholic when asked, but go to church only when someone gets married or dies. The rest of the time they are some of the most liberal people you can imagine. At least the majority. Pelosi, Kennedy, etc... All Catholics who practice NONE of what the church teaches. The ironic part is that the Catholic church is one of the few religions that actually has a central ruling body so they should be able to stomp this kind of thing out. But they are so greedy that they won't risk excommunicating so many high profile people.

My church has lost its way.

The flock has lost it’s way, along with too many of her shepherds. The Church as the Spouse of Christ and His Mystical Body is immortal.

Unfortunately, that is the way of most religionists. Protestants, muslims, jews -- many treat their religion as an ethnicity or an "identity" -- a club they joined at birth.

Christ pointed out that many are called but few enter by the narrow gate. To be a true Christian, "you must be born again" -- you must hear or read the scriptures, understand what you are committing to and give yourself heart, mind, soul and body. Few are willing.
