then I must step away and hold my faith privately and away from such until Christ cleans his house

Precisely what I did years ago. I'll never lose the faith, but the church lost me.

If you are hoping “a bunch of people” (whatever the sign over the door) is going to keep your faith going, you’ve put your faith in the wrong place.

And this is a pan-Christian issue. Protestants have it as well as Catholics and Orthodox.

Letting worship organizations go visibly looey like this is one way God emphasizes that they shouldn’t be “idolized.” Denomination issues existed from the early days... “I am of [whomever].” People put the ultimate fondness they should have had for the Lord, onto their clergy. It is an understandable error, but not to constantly try to correct it is wrong too.
