Although it is ironic that the church would not be the social and political power it is without this absolute control, it is surely not what I have ever read about the life of Jesus. I have given up on the Catholic church, or better said I have opened my mind and soul to accept that it is ok to not follow the church. The Catholic church has proven for hundreds of years to be an entity bent on power and growth (in numbers of parissioners) which it really only does by keeping current members in line and fearful of thought. I have finally accepted that it is ok to not be a part of the church. I am not shaming my community or my upbringing or family. I am awake more than ever and feel like we have guises good work as work on behalf of the church for too long. Do good onto others simply because it a good thing to do. I feel liberated myself. I applaud the work of Liberation theologians and their efforts to help the oppressed in Latin America. The Catholic church full of secrets and scandal wolud be plagued if their was an interventionist God. Young children from El Salvador to Rwanda would not have to endure hunger and hate and fear if their was an interventionist God. How ignorant can we be?<br />Silencing good work by faithful while enabling pedophiles and power glutinous members is without excuse. I will never return to the Catholic church unless Jesus himself walks me through the front doors and even then I would ask him why he allows his name to be represented by this place. <br />We are fools if we overlook the negative of the church and try to focus on the good work done by 99% of the church. We must focus on the good but erraticate the bad.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11628951122651819022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26177615.post-36411858049267826412009-11-18T21:30:16.095+07:002009-11-18T21:30:16.095+07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
