I was sick and tired of the Catholic Church's stance

I bailed in the 1980s, when the Catholic clergy in El Salvador were arming and supporting Communist rebels, and teaching that Jesus Christ was the first Communist. "Liberation Theology" they called it.

It came to a head when the rebels killed a man I knew, and when "international opinion" condemned the El Sals' targeting of some of the Maryknolls who directly supported his murder. I was out of there.

Unfortunately I went to the Episcopalian church. Talk about bad judgment on my part! From a far-left church that promotes and defends closeted homosexuals, to a far-left church that celebrates open ones. Oh, brother.

Looking for a denomination, over here. I am A Man Without a Church.

d.o.l.

If you're looking for one with no sinners in it, you'll be looking till you die.

Please take a look again at the Catholic Church. Every Church is filled with sinners and the Catholic Church is no exception.

I find if spend an hour or so with Our Lord in front of the Blessed Sacrament my anger fades about some of the most outrageous sins ocurring supposedly in the name of the Church. I am left with sorrow for the sins, but sorrow leaves my faith intact.

Maybe if you find a Catholic Church in your area with Adoration this will work for you too.

God Bless.

Another reason I left the church as well.
