[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like being free from the obligation to attend church on Sunday. That's how the Catholic Church I grew up in put it: "Sunday obligation." The only obligation I honor on Sunday is to have fun. Guilt free fun.[/quote]

Written like a true product of western liberalism. [/quote]
I am not a liberal or a conservative. I am a cradle catholic who became disgusted with the church due to the child molesting and cover ups, the hipocrasy of the parishoners and the guilt tripping around the faith. The church was no solace to me after suffering years of abuse and neglect. There was no god to protect or comfort me. [/quote]

I am sorry to hear that. That is very sad. As someone who was raised in Catholic Church, I can understand your skepticism and pain. I personally converted to a Protestant church that provides  amazing pastoral care and has many safe guards against clergy abuse. However, if I had been a victim of church sanctioned child abuse I would have probably given up on religion also.

It is not acceptable when churches mistreat or neglect the needs of their members, especially children.
