How about the Catholic church tolerating those who claim to be Catholics, yet either support or even advance the radical left wing agenda of abortion and government dependence? That’s why I’m no longer a practicing Catholic.

If the US Catholic church had excommunicated Nancy Pelosi and the rest of her ilk, I’d be at mass every Sunday.

I think many would. There is little point to a faith where clergy lives and practices separate rules based on fear of tax status when there’s one rule book.

I was raised RC. I left when it became obvious that leadership didn’t believe the things they preached. I still believe the doctrine, just not the doctrinaires.

That doesn't make any sense to me, CP. Either it is the Church that Christ founded, or it isn't. It seems to me that a man subscribes to a religion because of it's divine origin and the truth of it's doctrines, and not because of the apparent qualities of it's human leaders (or lack of same thereof).

As a Catholic, I only worry about my own sins and holiness. I leave God to sort them out.
