In other words, you knew Catholics who were confused and believed things that were contradictory, and

they believe they could still screw something up in purgatory and not go to heaven

things that are manifestly contrary to Catholic doctrine, and you left because of that? That's equivalent to deciding that mathematics is garbage because the math students and some of the math professors at your local college are incompetent.

Not merely ‘catholics’ as you spin it

I am talking about priests who were in their 60s and 70s, that i knew for decades

that were in charge of multiple parishes over their careers, and were held up by the church as role models and great priests.

Not just any old person in the pews

but the ones leading and teaching those in the pews

never corrected by any bishop or archbishop if they were so-called ‘confused’

Your trying to ignore the context and downplay their positions like its just some lay person who’s got it wrong, is really telling. You would fit in to scientology or the libtard media very well.
