21. I am a Catholic, but the more they get involved in politics....
...the further away they are driving me.

The history of the Catholic Church has been appalling at times, and maybe this is going to be one of them again. I live in Mexico, and there is a history here and throughout Latin America of the Church exploiting and suppressing the people in it's quest for wealth and simple control of the people.

The Inquisition was no party or event to be proud of.

The history of the Catholic Church seems to be riddled with corruption and shame. Charging fees for the sacraments, and on and on and on it goes.
