but the church has a credibility problema and an image problem that is well-deserved IMHO:

Or my brother’s hesitation at being asked to pay money (about $15,000) for an annulment of a prior marriage in the church in order to have a priest marry him in his second marriage. Or my sister’s agreement to pay thousands of dollars to “buy” and annulment of a marriage of 27 years. She paid, he didn’t.

Or birth control? Or abortion?

Like confession, seems like the church can find ways to sweep away all the nasty stuff when it is exigent to do so.

Personally, I have been done with hypocrites since I was about 14.
