I'm sorry, but you don't deprive yourself of the sacraments just because the current earthly leadership of the Church have all-to-human failings.
And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven. -Matthew 16: 18-19

God is not mocked. He does not endorse debauchery. The Catholic Church has fallen from grace. Jesus said “by their fruits ye shall know them”. When the fruit becomes rotten the LORD has left. Do not put your faith in your church but rather in the person of Jesus Christ himself. Only Christ Himself saves us and keeps us.

You really need to read the entire scriptures to know who the real Rock is that the church is built on. It ain’t Peter.
