Love it!

I think the problem that I see in many of the “I have left the Catholic Church” posts is the ability to forgive and laziness. They abandon the church for its human frailty and in its illness, to follow their own whims.

They blame “The Church” when the Church is explict in its teachings. They blame everyone but themselves, where were they when their church needed their faithfulness? Where were they the first time a new priest did something stupid, taught something heretical? They need to stay and take care of the patient!

There are many ways to dissent against bad priests and bad doctrine but leaving the faith that Jesus established is not one of them.

Jesus established the Body of Christ, of which there are many members in many churches. Yours is not ‘the one true church’ any more than mine is.
