You don't have to be a member of a particular religion to believe the same things they do. I know plenty of Catholics who are this same way (I went to a Catholic high school and have a large extended family of all Catholics so I know a fair few).
The CC seems to me to be beyond repair at this point with corruption all the way at the top and no way to have it removed as authority is hierarchical.
As for whether or not this is normal, I like to think so. Quite a bit of today's society is at least marginally about individuality (even if the majority seems to only follow a few individuals), which leads people to question authority (government, churches, traditional ways of thinking) and results in people in your situation and unfortunately hipsters as well.
By the way, I would encourage you to reconsider your dislike of the authority members of the CC. Hate seems much more appropriate given some of their actions in Africa with AIDS, globally with child molestation and their extreme stances on abortion, and the massive hypocrisy they're guilty of on a grand scale (the whole golden palaces thing).
is it normal to have a religion, but disliking it's current structure?
