(12,233 posts)today. It's an organized religion that is just as part and partial to power and with it scandal.
If it wasn't for their power, they would not have been able to do some of the great atrocities that they have been able to do.
It's similar to the United States of America. We pay our taxes and live under a system that has done lots of good, but lots of evil... And it's done in our names, with our enabling.
But what do many on DU do besides post information, banter around opinions and ideas? Most try to do the part in changing the bad.
I would think most Catjolics would be demanding the changes that they think should be implemented within their faith and religion so that the good shines bright, and the demons are put to bed.
Everyone's got a handful of tea Baggers awaiting marching orders in their back pocket that make it harder to change; keeps the corruption alive and well. And unlike the country, many people here aren't Catholic, so it's not going to have a round robin appeal for help to fix the problems within the religion that you practice and have faith in.
