In case you've ever wondered why I don't just go to some other church:

No one at Our Lady of Good Counsel thinks I'm going to destroy the human race.

As a Catholic convert friend recently wrote me, "I have not been to mass in weeks. I feel so angry and disgusted with the Catholic church right now. It's not a question of faith. I still have faith in THE RITUALS. I just think the church is a big stupid dinosaur that needs to be put out of its misery."

Point taken. But if we all leave, then the assholes will have uncontested ownership of a potentially beautiful and valuable institution, and if we Catholics who don't believe this garbage put up with it, then hate will remain part and parcel of Catholic doctrine.
