I was raised Roman Catholic...altar boy, Mom was/is a Lectern (every Sunday), CCD, Church Youth Group, Jesuit HS (all male)... a few of my classmates I found out were "raped" during my HS yrs...did not find out til' years after...Youth Group Leader was also indicted for abuse on boys as well..(found out yrs. later as well)..this "Pope" is pure evil and I want nothing to do with religion...I found spending a few mins sometimes multiple times a day "Speaking" with/to God helps...it was very hard for me to "turn away from the church"..glad I did.
Spiritual without formal religion.

The Bible says that your body is your temple. You are to pray to God/Jesus directly. Churches have perverted Christianity.
Once you learn the Truth of the Word, it is amazing! It is life changing!
