Michelle really jumped the shark on this one. I understand the sentiments - the frustration and disappointment. But for her to say “the Church has left me”, indicates she doesn’t really understand what the Church is in theological terms.
Her remarks, unfortunately, sound typical of someone who is either nominally Catholic, or a former Catholic who hasn’t told anyone she’s a former Catholic yet.
The Catholic Church is the ark. You get on it or you don’t. If you get on it, you can’t complain that there are some smelly animals on board with you, while the deluge is destroying everything outside of it. Changes need to be made. Maybe some species need to be separated from others. But the right answer is never, ever “leave the ark”.
In America, the Catholics are the back bone of the Democrat Party, that is naturally a problem for some conservatives.
If we don’t figure out a way around the Catholic vote, then America will fail and we will become just another Catholic, European style country.
Well said!
