My neighbor is a Deacon in the Anglican Rite

[Drahthaardogs]

Formerly Anglican that recently became Catholic (the entire congregation), so while in full Communion with the Church, they are under a separate Bishop/diocesan leadership.

I am Facebook friends with him, and I regret that decision. Seeing his politics as well as priests and other clergy has literally destroyed my own faith.

What I once saw as inherently beautiful, but tainted by flawed men, has now changed. I now see the clergy and so many of the members so corrupt, I am finding it hard to see redemption.

I find all of this so disheartening.

3. Nones - Those who have no religious/church affiliation plus atheists and agnostics

Have reached the same percentage of the population (21%) as Evangelical Christians (who routinely pay lip service to a guy who they supposedly worship while doing everything to harm the less powerful) and Catholics (essentially an international crime cartel). They both have no one to blame but themselves.
