[quote=Anonymous]Grew up catholic and went to catholic schools. I don’t practice anymore because:

1) as a previous poster already stated, the church has an unhealthy fixation on sex. This gives rise not only to child abuse but also priests having affairs and unclaimed children. There are too many bad messages for girls, and I don’t want my daughter exposed to it. My mom is extremely catholic and she asked me if I would ever put my daughter— who is now only 9!!!— on birth control. I said yes, when the time comes and she went on about how important it is for my daughter to “know her value.”  I’m certain my daughter knows her value, and to me, it’s extremely important that she knows her value lies in her heart and her brain and not in her pants, but I think the persistent catholic message of sexual purity makes girls believe their whole value is about sex, and that their power lies in not having it.

2) I went to the Vatican. The display of wealth disgusted me.

3) the church simply hasn’t done enough to protect children from predatory clergy. They transfer priests instead of turning them in. Where is the mercy?

All that said, I’m a fan of Pope Francis and think God sent him to reform the church. [/quote]
