26. I Am With You - I Spent 16 1/2 Years In Catholic Schools With So Much Theology I Could Be Pope!

I have enough hours in Catholic Dogma I could qualify for a PHD. In the end I left at 23 and am 69 now.

What is so ironic is that all that time I never became enlightened enough to ask the priest how one could believe in a religion that was founded on the fact that a young woman was raped by God and was with a man she was NOT married to and had a child out of wedlock. And it was ok because GOD did it.

I probably have less use for the Church than you do. Here is why. They have lost their way or never had it. They can preach that you must have all the children you possibly can. Yet they support and do not criticize an economic system that steals your wages, even your life and your dignity. Exploits workers so they cannot feed themselves much less their children. Are against workers pursuing their rights or do not support it. And are tax exempt on top of that.

The fact that they supposedly feed the poor, which I doubt is not good enough. And when they quit protecting pedophiles then they might have some legitimacy.
