Why don't you go join a congregational church, since you hate the Catholic faith and the structure of its clergy so much? We live in a free society with freedom of religion. If you don't believe in what the Catholic Church teaches, including apostolic succession, then no one is stopping you from going to a religion more in accord with your tastes and predilections.

No, I think I'll stay and try to rid the Church of people like you, who think everything that has to do with the Catholic Church is a matter of faith, or that "apostolic succession" has anything to do with who handles administrative duties in a chancery office.

It took a secular institution like the Boston Globe to finally blow the whistle on the insular Boston Archdiocese to flush out the massive corruption there.

You guys who act like you own the Church will not tell those of us who know we don't to leave. If I hated the Catholic Faith, I would have left a long time ago.

Why don't you point out to me where something I've said indicated that I "hate" the Faith? Or do you just want to silence all dissent, no matter how trivial?
