Grew up not supposed to eat meat on Friday during lent. It was a big nono. I don't remember the year but one Friday during lent the church said they made an exception and you can eat meat that friday.
That began my journey of realizing Church has nothing to do with G_d.
Same with School. Felt like teachers were making up history on the fly.
The only true answers I could find were within my gut.
Trusting yourselves = Trusting G_d
Jesus would not be happy with the Catholic church. It says so in Revelations. I think there are ways to be close to God through it though. I believe in the example of the saints (most of them) who went before us and lived their lives in a holy way. It was very comforting when my husband died the church had a mass for him and he wasn't Catholic. The church has lost its way. I don't follow all the arbitrary rules but I have seen miracles happen in adoration. I did that for 12 years. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit. It's a personal relationship.
