The church lost its way centuries ago. Power and money can and does provide a toxic drug for humans. To assume that the clergy somehow cannot be corrupted is naive. It is no different than many other modern day myths. People equate their doctor to a position of worship when in fact doctors are no different than Joe the plumber. It is their line of work. There are well documented books regarding the corruption in the Catholic hierarchy. I will share with anyone who has an interest. I was raised a Catholic. In a large family. Both maternal and fraternal sides were Catholics. My journey through life made me question long held beliefs. There are many questions that indicated that those in leadership of the church did not represent my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The leadership live like kings and in fact refer to Cardinals as Princes. They adore themselves in the best garments and gold and jewels. I will end here by saying they do not practice the teachings of Christ.

Not as widely read as yourself, also raised Catholic, but I have read a lot in the last 4 years and totally agree.
Amen!
