The bishops have NEVER recognized the homosexual abuse of youg boys for the intrinsic evil that it is. They all saw the issue as a public relations problem to be swept aside and hushed.

As one who is seriously sruggling with remaining Catholic I ask if the so called leaders of this Church don't recognize pure evil when it's staring them in the face...then what good are they? Why do I need them and why should I place myself in communion with them?

We are all sinners. Why would Catholics be better or worse?

The Church fathers know all too well about the evils in front of them, in back of them and all around them. Human nature hasn't changed and never will. They can only deal with individuals.

If it's terrible, damaging news about Catholics of any ilk, or about Evangelicals...we will hear it blasted across the universe.

If it's something good, then we probably won't hear a peep. Our media haven't changed on the way they treat Catholics and Evangelicals.

Also our media, written and electronic lets us know what news they WANT us to know. The mainstream media has always loathed Catholics and Evangelicals. Always.

Honest question: do you really think that changing faiths will suddenly allow you to see a better side of humanity?

You don’t and you shouldn't. Salvation is assured through belief in the atoning sacrifice of Christ alone. It is not contingent upon rituals, attendance, or affiliation. Sincerely pray that the Holy Spirit show you all the other errors of the Catholic faith and ask Him to guide you to the truth of a personal relationship with Christ.
