“The two are inseparable. To suggest otherwise is heresy, to abandon the Church is apostasy, and to organize others to do the same is schism.”
The Church of my youth is utterly and irrevocably corrupt. It is no more “of God” than Charles Manson.
Not long after Confirmation a Priest tried to rub my butt. That’s when I left and that was 50 years ago.
I encourage all those who believe the bible to leave today, in spite of your hollow admonition that I’m going to hell. Sir, you are already IN hell.
Man where do they get off telling non Catholics we’re going to hell
They worship their church
I realize don’t think they do but it comes off that way
And it explains why priests get away with it
It’s only the last month I’ve discovered how this went on and goes on
Laity won’t face the hard truth

Imagine for a moment that you know of someone whose home has burned. What would that person do? Surely the pain and agony of experiencing such an event would be significant.
I would think person would not simply walk away from his/her home. That person would surely begin the process of repair, like cleaning up the debris, replace the burned parts of the home and eventually restore it to its viable state.
Just like a home, the Catholic Church has suffered damage. We must clean up the debris by removing any clergy or lay person from position of authority, and refer them to the proper authority to answer for their crimes.
If you walk away from the Catholic Church, you are helping Lucifer destroy the Church. You will be walking away from the fullness of the Christ Jesus under the guise of walking away from the men who did these awful things.
You can help be the solution by standing up and reaffirming your commitment to the Catholic Church, not running away. Do you think that Jesus called it quits after hanging on the Cross for the first hour? No. He went all the way.
