One never leaves the Catholic Church — once baptized you are always a Catholic and are welcome to return at any time.

Just make an appointment to talk with the priest.

At my church — strange — not! They subjects are approached. In fact something about abortion, pregnancy, etc. is mentioned EVERY week!

Time to come home and be a REAL Catholic. Don’t judge in generalities by looking at CINOs Pelosi, Biden, et al who have excommunicated themselves by their support of abortion.

That is the point. The church should have made a stand against people like them & don't. When parents don't discipline their children they don't know the boundaries. The church has voices going in all directions. They can excommunicate these people, but chose not to because they don't want to lose any people. When you are a church with undeniable beliefs you stand up for them even if it means standing alone. I have a daughter-in-law who is a real lefty and she sees people like Pelosi and her liberal ideas are reinforced. She is not afraid of what will happen when she dies. She says she's catholic and that's all that matters.

That woke me up. You said once a catholic, always a catholic. Wrong. The church lost it's moral standing with me when they did not stand up against what is wrong. They keep making the same mistakes throughout history. The latest being the not protecting children from pedophiles, rather than doing what is right. They did not want there church name smeared, so let the children be hurt. Better some children suffer than a whole church be smeared??? I was one of many who were physically abused by nuns and priest at our parish. My life was miserable because I thought God hated me. They represented God to me and I thought that is how God felt about me. People want to think this is rare at churches. Think again. I know others (not at my church) who were hurt as well. There is no way God is on the side of the church. That is why so many people like me found churches that not only SHOW us God's word in the bible, but also encourage us to live it out the best we can. I feel sorry for those who think a religion is going to get them to heaven. They're in for a big surprise.
