[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lifelong Catholic here. I’m in my 50s and seriously considering leaving the church. MAGA is destroying the church from the inside out. Nationally, Catholics voted for Trump by a 15 point margin. Trump goes against everything I thought the church stood for. MAGA actively seek to be cruel. They are focused on wealth and power instead of caring for fellow man and for the environment. I still have faith but I don’t have anything in common with the people around me in the pews. It makes me very sad. [/quote]

As someone else noted, Church-shopping might benefit you. There has got to be one more centrist or left-leaning parish where you live.

Keep in mind of all Catholics only 30% go to mass on a regular basis and those tend to be the most conservative. The Church has decided not to address the spiritual needs of the other 70% bc they are not the right kind of Catholic. Yet, that does not prevent these same people from self-identifying as Catholic.[/quote]

Someone may identify as Catholic, but unless they attend mass every Sunday and follow the catechism, they are Catholic in name only (like Biden and Pelosi).[/quote]

Here comes the self-appointed right wing Catholic police - Who or what says that someone who attends mass every Sunday is actually following the teachings of Jesus Christ? Who or what says that the catechism is correct at all times in every way? Catholicism should be for people who think, not for mindless rule followers.[/quote]

And that’s where you’re wrong.  Being a good Catholic IS following the catechism (that is what Catholicism is based on) and yes, good Catholics follow the rules of Jesus Christ.  You want to pick and choose, be Protestant.  [/quote]
