So I still consider myself a ‘Catholic in Spirit’, I just do not partake in their or any other service.

I'll say a prayer for you...remember that our church, like all others, is made up of sinners. Remember that Jesus said "forgive them for they know not what they do"...so forgive them and get on with life....don't let the actions of other people determine what is important in YOUR life...only you are responsible for what you do, and don't get to the gates of Heaven and try to convince St Peter that it was someone elses fault....won't fly!!

I don’t know if this could be considered an admonishment but I blame NO one for anything.
I am a firm believer the person looking back at you from that mirror is the cause of the majority of ones problems.

Whether I ‘left’ the church or I feel the church ‘left me’, if I were to continue patronizing etc and going along with things I don’t believe or feel comfortable with, that would really make me the worst kind of hypocrite.

I am at ‘peace’ with myself and prepared for what may come down on me - We really don’t know what St. Peter has in mind, I probably landed a place in Purgatory - if it still exists.....

The one's that are NEVER closed?

...the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be closed...
