This is one of N reasons (where N is a very large number) why I left the church years ago.
I have never left the church. The church left me, and apparently is hell-bent on receding further each year, with the insistence on political BS.
As a catholic, I view the church today as, as a citizen, I view the Federal government.
That is not intended as a compliment. Arrogance, delusion, blindness and deafness seems to be common traits.
The True Church may still exist, but no one would know it by who gets all the press...
