You're so content in your dissatisfaction, you don't want to forgive and move on. But wallowing will get you nowhere.

I'm stuck. I moved on with everything except going back to church. I feel bad when I go to church.

Well, I'm sure there are many on this site who will pray for a rebirth of your faith. I know I will.

I compare these issues to the oath taken by the armed forces: they swear allegiance to the Constitution, not to the President or his officers. So to do I find my devotion owing to Christ and His Church--as defined by the Cathechism (and not the humans who hold office). You can't go wrong with devotion to the universal and eternal principals of His Church. And even when I differ with wayward bishops, I know they are only imperfect officers charged with administration of His Holy Church.
