I don’t visit this website very often, so pardon the delayed response.

What happened? I was able to see just how perverse and corrupt the catholic church can be. Specifically, I witnessed the abusive behavior of a local priest during my wife’s attempt to be confirmed in her late thirties. During confession, he wouldn’t settle for what she confessed - instead pressing forward with accusations of abortions and sexual perversion - demanding she confess to things she hadn’t even heard of, let alone done. This got me to begin questioning the validity of confessing to a sick old perverted man. It also began my journey of discovering just how wrong nearly all of the teachings of the catholic church are. It isnt much better than Mormonism. I am happily attending a Christian church now and feel ashamed for wasting so many years and dollars on the catholic church and silly clubs like the knights of drinking heavily after meetings...err...Columbus.

As for “virulent” anti Palin posts, I do not respect the former governor and stated as much. I will leave it at that.

Sorry that happened for you. You are generalizing, and I believe you know that.

The Catholic Church is not perverse and corrupt as you say.

The sexual misdeeds happen in every religion and in fact, are much less among priests that among teachers and Protestant ministers. Actually fathers are the worst.

I don’t know who fed you this line of lies or if you read a comic book or something, but you can always come back to the church.

You are in my prayers.

I pray you are doing well. Hopefully more Roman Catholics will come to the truth like you did.
