[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

The Church offers everything needed for salvation, and more, in countless locations and via countless modes and avenues. If someone is not getting their spiritual needs met, it is because they are not practicing the tenets of the Faith they purport to profess.[/quote]

So of course it's not the right wing clerics who have failed us. It's the individual's fault for questioning their myopia and prejudices.[/quote]

Catholic teaching is neither “myopic” nor “bigoted,” and no person even passingly familiar with its content and development over the centuries would suggest the contrary. People who in effect voluntarily excommunicate themselves because of their own introduction of secular politics into matters of Faith can hardly blame “right wing clerics,” or anyone else. [/quote]

Yes, some of Catholic teaching is myopic and bigoted. Failure to think critically is not an admirable trait.[/quote]

“Is not. Is TOO” hardly constitutes rational argument.

Precisely what in Catholic teaching is “myopic” or “bigoted,” and why?[/quote]

Dear non-catholic pp - I strongly suggest that you do not attempt to answer catholic pp's  questions.  They have already decided that you're wrong and will have silly responses.[/quote]

Except I am Catholic and I work for the Catholic Church. Understand that we have these insufferable RWNJs who hide behind church dogma to desperately create structure in their lives and who want to chase away anyone left-leaning.[/quote]

Name calling is so puerile. [/quote]
