I am Catholic. Certainly not proud of the crises and everything evil that is going on. But, I separate "what" I believe in my faith from "who" the leaders of that faith are. I am fortunate to have many good priests in my diocese and parish who provide pastoral care and the sacraments. The church institution is suffering, indeed--as it should and as it deserves, for its transgressions. I hope Jesus Christ will help our church become as cleansed as the rest of the culture He is invitinng us to purify. Peace to all Christians everywhere.
