You must not continue to attack people on a personal level without seeing the bigger picture....frankly it makes you look like a heartless creep. People do need hand holding...even the Priests.

Eh? When did I attack you personally? Let me rephrase the sentence for you: "If you need one needs that kind of hand-holding, there's always the local clergy."

This is a discussion forum, and many sensitive topics often get discussed, with religion being one of the most sensitive. Text-only communication is imperfect in conveying the exact tone that one intends, and I try to respect to those who are respectful, but we can't walk on eggshells around here, afraid to say the truth for fear someone might take it the wrong way. You should not be so hypersensitive, especially if you are going to be criticizing someone else's church.

As for the rest of your post, I'm not sure what you're trying to get at, but I do get that you used to be a Catholic and now you have some kind of grudge against the Church. That's your choice, but you appear to have some unrealistic expectations of the Church, as if they have the responsibility to take care of you, rather than you taking care of yourself and using them as a spiritual guide.

Again, your chip is showing by assuming that I have a grudge simply because of my criticize, rebuke and suggestions. I have no grudge against the Catholic Church, however, I do believe that it is committing suicide just as it has in Europe.

You have no idea how many times I have cried over the realization of it.

Go ahead and ignore someone who has been on the inside who has serious concerns...I fully expect it.
