After all that has been revealed this century, I don't see how Catholics can continue to associate with that religion.

Are any Catholics present who would like to enlighten us?

I have heard Catholics respond with something like “go on, by faith”

I tried, but could not get anywhere with that

I don't think Catholics generally have a great deal of difficulty separating their own virtuosity from the decadence of the church officials. At least in the USA. American Catholics I know aren't slavishly oriented toward the pope or the church hierarchy, and are quite vocal about their displeasure with him and them.

edit - should have used the word "virtue" lol

Thanks for the reply, I haven't been around many Catholics (and the ones I was around didn't talk about their religion).

Must get old being a Catholic and having Protestants (especially Baptists) trying to convert you.

That was an interesting use of "virtuosity."

Proud to be a recovering Catholic since 1978.

The Vatican is a disgrace to all Catholics and all Christians.

The only thing Christians need is a relationship with Jesus and faith.

The red shoes, golden thrones, silly hats and magical smoke is a shameful distraction.
