“I have stopped going to church because I don't believe in our priests anymore”

My brother just told me he has stopped too. His small parish in Georgia has turned into illegal alien central.

I recently attended an event that severely taxed my commitment. Cardinal McCarrick and Bishop D'Arcy both spoke and seemed thrilled to be on the same dais as pro-abort/homo marriage advocate Martin Sheen. I walked out and didn't take communion at that Mass. It's a lot harder to forgive trespasses when it's your own church doing it.

It is important to remember that the faith has survived through similar periods past by the domestica egglesia...domestic church, the family is the fundamental unit of Catholicism and of all Christianity...your family is Church as it was the Primitive Church long ago. In fact the Church has never survived when the family as Church has not. Father John Hardon wrote about this.
