[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents were great; loved all people, hated racists, welcomed gay friends, active in our parish and had five kids. They could not have done more to better raise us in the Vatican II church.

Basically, John Paul II ran almost every younger person I knew out of the church. I come from a big Catholic church and have dozens of first and second cousins who get together every summer. I can count on one hand the number of people who stayed in the church. I found the Church to be backward, misogynist, intolerant, vain, greedy and hateful.

Even my mom stopped going when the child abuse legacy became too massive to be denied.

I used to say the Church was "rotten to the core" but my (former nun) cousin corrected me to say that it is "rotten at the top". [b]Millions of good people in the church are doing great works of faith throughout the world.[/b] It is the Vatican and the Bishops who are proven criminals.[/quote]

Good people can do good works without being associated with an institution that is rotten at the top.[/quote]
