"The more I read the Bible, the more I disagree with what is going on. "

You must be glad you were not born before the Bible was written. Jesus did not write a 'Bible'. Jesus selected Apostles and used the Holy Spirit to teach through them. Then and now.

What the Catholic Church teaches is in the Holy Spirit's perfection. Not all Catholics including Priests and Bishops accept it. Vatican II provided an opportunity for dissent of different opinions (just as the Bible does). Catholic teaching agrees with you that things are not right and these statistics tell the same story.

Correct. However, the Apostles Jesus selected did pen writings which the Church recognizes as scripture. The Holy Spirit teaches through the Apostles writings now, as He taught through the Apostles when they lived.
