No, I'm catholic. With all that has, and is still going on with the catholic church and it's "charities" worldwide, it's almost become an insult to be catholic. But to us parishioners who still believe in the church, we're happy to be there. Being led to the catholic church was strange to me since, I didn't start going to church until after the whole child molestation thing was in full swing. I guess what I was most attracted to was the structure of the church. I attended several denominations in my journey. But walking into the catholic church always felt different than others. My soul was at ease. Where other places, it made me feel out of place. Tough to explain. But it was more like coming home to family after a long time away.
Like the US Gov't, the Catholic Church has institutional problems and captured hierarchy, built on top of a population of good people. Most of us know that. God bless.
