I’m Catholic and for most of my life I’ve been a practicing Catholic. Always went to mass, even when i was on vacation.
Since this LW clown has been pope i’ve gone to mass a handful of times the past two years. I refuse to support anything or any organization affiliated with this hypocritical clown.
And before the haters chime in- i pray every day
Go to Mass and receive reverently on the tongue, or better yet while kneeling, if you want to actively undermine what you object to.
As Ann Roche Muggeridge wrote at the end of Desolate City “Don’t let the b@$t@rd$ drive you out.”
You don’t need a church..they need you.
Your beliefs are yours alone and require no church.
Keep going to Mass. Confess and receive. Give your money to specific groups that you trust in the Church.
I am similar. I am a cradle Catholic, with a K-12 Catholic education, and remain a believer. Yet I rarely go to Mass these days. Pope Francis is astonishing bad: thuggish, dishonest, and of unsound theology.
