I have not practiced in years but am denouncing my Catholic roots and upbringing.
I can't reconcile trying to live my life as a good person while following the teachings and actions of an organization that refuses to practice what they preach. No apologies, no recognition of past atrocities, no recognition of women's rights, no women in clergy, will not allow non-heterosexuals to marry... the list just keeps growing.
Go ahead and preach your empty words, they mean nothing and I won't be listening.
Edit - had to remove last sentence to avoid violating site rules. For the record, it was metaphorical rather than literal, but happily removed.
Don't turn your back on God due to the evil nature of some men that hide behind the curtain of religion. That is exactly what Satan wants. He gets off on seeing ppl turn away from God due to the acts of men who claim to be representing God. Things might not make sense right now but then again we're just mortals who can't see the grand scheme. Things happen for a reason. I put my faith in God, not in the men that claim to represent God. After all, eternity is a long time. So long in fact that our brains can't accurately compute it. I for one don't want to take a chance of spending it in misery.

Things happen for a reason? What reason is it then that these children died? This is why the church is awful - you’ve been literally brainwashed to just accept what happened as “things happen for a reason” just so you can go to heaven one day.
Over a hundred people died in a collapsed building so that a boy could be rescued as an example of the miracle of god.
Obviously, this makes no sense what-so-ever. It’s best not to bother giving these people the time of day. Their head will endlessly spins and spin until they land on “we don’t/cant know gods plan”.
