I was raised RC and left/lapsed when I figured out that the leadership does not believe in their own teachings. If they ever return to following their own faith, I’ll be back. Until then, God and I have a more ‘personal’ relationship.
A faith that does this crap is not worth following. And I know that sounds harsh, but I defy anyone to tell me why a parishoner should follow or listen to men who ignore their own ‘rules’.
That is the only rational argument I have heard so far for leaving the Church. I disagree with it, but it’s rational.
