Based on what I've been learning about the RCC in recent weeks, I am calling into question my claim to be Catholic. If I had known in early 2001 what I know now, I doubt that I would have joined the Church. It's appearing more and more to me that much of what I had been told by Protestants about the RCC is true.
If you really are you should be ashamed of yourself.
No, the Catholics who have unquestioningly supported the Church hierarchy should be ashamed of themselves. They are as responsible for what's happening to the RCC as the corrupt Bishops.
However, thanks for your post. It did make me realize that I need to update my profile.
