My knee-jerk reaction is also to leave but we have an obligation to cleanse it. Our kids need communion too, where do we go? The Old Catholic Church allows priests to marry. The Green Orthodox Church has a very mature stance on many things the Roman Catholics lost sight of. In the end we may be celebrating as the original Christians did, at the super tables at home.
Check out the Russian Orthodox Church. You may find it to be the spiritual home you’re looking for given the path markers you have shared. I don’t get on here to try to recruit people but you listed some options and I’m suggesting the one I took after much struggle.
Will consider, fren... Not many options in my geographical area that we're aware of right now, but the Lord will provide. Awhile back, I picked up the old missals, pre-vatican 2, and other core reference books for catechism and doctrine. Need to look into what rights priests have when their 'superiors' are in error- I'm also getting the feeling that 'sanctioned' priests are not the only ones 'authorized' to perform the rites. Sort of like local gov licensing salon people, artificial restrictions, artificial control.
I found a Bible based non denominational church. I have learned more in eight years than 58 years Catholic. Take a step back and you will see the evil they are.
I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with people, corruption is indeed rampant, especially after Vatican 2. Yet evil hasn't arsoned non-denominational churches, just Catholic cathedrals. Assassinated prelates in the streets. MSM doesn't attack generic split-offs, just Catholics, despite the prevalence of corruption in all of these businesses. Masons have attached and bombed Catholic churches for decades, and owned protestant ones. They hate the Blessed Virgin Mary. If nothing else, seeing against whom the evil ones arrange themselves should give one cause to consider where to look for truth.
Also, those theologians who rapid-fire dance around scripture playing word games with translations just feel slimy. I'll take an original Latin and Greek scholar to discuss new testament, Hebrew for old, and go from there. Please don't KJV me, bro.
My oldest sister loved this Priest. I am glad she is not here to see this.
This is why I left Catholic Church eight years ago.
I'm hoping the deep state in the Vatican gets cleaned out because the church is in real trouble.
The church needs good people to reform it from within like the council of Trent.
Martin Luther reformed the church and I fully support it.
Hopefully the RC church gets the same kind of reformation

Be careful not to be mislead , try a kjv or new American standard Bible.
The Catholic church is the whore that sits on the 7 seas.
