Don't step in unless you feel an overwhelming need or could use the fellowship.

I am with u/Guins95 here. I was born Catholic and wandered in and out of practicing going on a half century now. I will not practice while Bergoglio heads the Church, and I likely will never practice again because I believe the Church to be in grave error in its teachings.

My specific beef with the Church's teachings is their obfuscation of the idea of the Holy Spirit. I always saw their inchoate representation of the Holy Spirit as mumbo-jumbo hand-waving about completely subjective emotions and abstract concepts like love, charity, peace, hope and tranquility. I can see the value of these things, but I could never buy into the idea that the message could not be further refined nor better explained.

I have concluded that the Holy Spirit is the Scientific Method, backed with logic, that finally elevated our minds beyond our frankly horrific natural, animal nature. That was God's gift to us to help guide us in exploring the intricate beauty of His Creation.

Read this: John 14 from after the Last Supper on the night before our Lord's crucifixion. It's short and shouldn't take more than three minutes to read. Imagine yourself in Jesus' place, trying to explain the Enlightenment that would be coming fifteen-hundred years in the future to your pre-Enlightenment followers.
