“Just when I am conflicted about re-joining my faith again.”
What has John Thomas Lee to do with your faith? You either accept or reject it. The Catholic faith has been besmirched by its members for centuries, but it has not changed its teachings. John Thomas Lee DOES NOT represent the Church.
In all fairness, don’t only look at JTL but also at the goodness of the many saints and martyrs that have represented the church and are still doing it today. Get rid of your tunnel vision. For every JTL there are many members of very good will.
Can always count on folks on these Catholic threads to be judgemental as opposed to encouraging in their Christianity. One of the many reasons I am conflicted. It’s all about absolutes.
