You won't find me saying that the Catholic Church has had its fair share of issues. Heck I can guarantee you that this Catholic gets more pissed off than anyone when an issue arises.

The question you need to ask yourself though is are the issues that are arising issues with Church doctrine and teaching or issues with "bad players" within the Church?

I would say that from all the research I have done that you may want to put your money on the latter haha

I understand that’s a safe bet for a lot of people. However the idea that I can’t control the outcome of my ‘spirit/soul/etc.’ makes far more sense to me than having to earn a gift that was said to be given by God freely and without being asked.

Catholicism has always been about here’s God, now what can I do to get/make self right in order to save my soul after I die?

Humans can’t do most shit right, and I feel placing my money on a man-made organization is not necessarily in my best interest.

But who knows I could be, and if so, then...... yikes
