I want to disown the catholic church

Hearing and reading about what priests did to young boys makes me sick and I want to abandon the Roman Catholic Church.
Not God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I will still believe and pray to them, and the Virgin Mary.
But, I hate the Catholic Church for allowing priests to abuse boys and cover it up. It makes me mad.

    As an altar boy who was molested by a priest I totally understand. When I realized how I was abused I swore that if I ever saw father O'Neill again I'd kill him but you have to move on. You never forget it but if you let it fester it will destroy you.

    Why would you pray to Holy Mary? Isn't that idolatry? But yeah, it's absolutely disgusting.

    It's understandable. I sometimes wonder how many people walked away from the faith because of all the scandals. It's a sad situation.

      You can walk away from the church and not the faith.

      Was raised Lutheran so I guess the distrust of the church was a built in teaching. The everyman can read and interpret the bible and is free to repent 1v1 with god.

    When did you ever think that the Catholic Church was about god, Jesus, or the holy spirit. Just look at its history and you will know that they care nothing about those things, and just give it "lip service."

    Unfortunately, so do many other "Christian" denominations.

      I think Catholicism, Lutheranism, Anglicanism and modern Christianity has gone out of favour except for the Revival Fellowship in Elizabeth, the lies and commercialism going on in the churches, ⛪ begging stupidly for money, only proves these denominations are false.

      Historically, the Catholic Church essentially served as a behavior modification branch of government. People aren't doing what you say? Well, maybe they will if you teach them that they're going suffer eternal agony and hellfire if they don't

          My mother grew up Lutheran. Whenever she caught us lounging around doing nothing she'd say things like "better nap now, there's no napping in hell" 😂 Thanks for the vote of confidence, ma

            My Lutheran parents pretty much handed me the bible and told me that I'd figure it out.

            Stupid part is that I actually did.

      I just simplify it to just God. Throwing in two factors that are also gods work is redundant.

    Why do I want to enter the religion of Islam?
    That your connection with the one God be directly without a priest or priests

    When a friend of mine gave me the book of the Noble Qur’an that follows Muslims, I found in it the sweetness and the story of Christ mentioned in it, as well as the Virgin Mary

    The sex scandal is an evil fruit of the heretical Vatican II sectarians. Adopt the true traditional Catholic faith - the YouTube channel Vatican Catholic is a good start to learn about the sedevacantist position.

    Normal, and I'm with you all the way, but I think the Holy Spirit is actually the spirit of God. It should be the case that you only have your religion and the Bible because the creed's false, I'm a Puritan and I think anal sex which is what some Catholic priests do with the children, is a sin.

    So do it. Does it have to be a formal declaration. Just believe what you want and leave religious leaders out of it. Most of them are narcissistic anyway.
