Good point, but my standards are not quite that high. If I could hit the three high points of belief in God & Jesus Christ, not supporting people trying to shoot me or eat my liver in third world settings, and with a hierarchy (if any) that opposes rather than celebrates sin, I'd be happy.
As it is I have a Bible, my faith, and I am happy, but it's uplifting to worship with others; and doing good works in the framework of a church is also pleasing to the psyche and, I believe, the soul. So I'll keep looking, not for a Church without sin but for one where sin isn't the headliner, getting top billing over Jesus -- and that's how I felt, and feel, about the RCC and ECUSA. I don't mean to disparage those Christians who keep faith within those churches.

With all due respect, that's nonsense. The sins you refer to were never part of Church doctrine nor representative of the majority of clergy or laity. The plain fact is that only the Catholic Church extends back to the time when Christ founded His church.
