Being a ‘non practicing Catholic’ which goes along with my drinking ‘non alcoholic Budweiser (ODouls)’ and one who became disillusioned with Mass no longer said in Latin, lay people distributing Communion, Priests attacking vulnerable children, Nuns protesting issues I grew up with as ‘gospel’, I feel it is probably better I don’t respond to this particular event.
Guess laypeople will be hearing Confession before long.

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!!
