My thoughts exactly. I like the traditions and and most of the official doctrines of the church. It's most of what I know of religion because it's how I was raised. I'd go back if for no other reason but to re-connect with family history. I just can't overlook the other thing. It's way too pervasive and way too horrific. When the diocese of Covington (NKY) released their list of credible abusers a couple of weeks ago, no less than four of them were at my church/school when I was a kid. 4. And several more before and after. What person in their right mind would send their kid anywhere near a place with that kind of track record if religion weren't attached? If you were at a Catholic institution as a child, it's not just possible that you were around predators, it's somewhere between highly likely and certain.
