I was born into a Catholic family, raised as a Catholic with all the sacraments included. Is was only at the age of 16-17 that hearing on TV the Pope referred to as "His Holiness" that I realized something was not right.

From that moment I began the transition period from religious Catholic to non-religious at all, until I reached my present stage, which is completely spiritual.

So it could be said that in a way, the Pope, the head of the Catholic Church, was the one who helped to turn me away from the church itself. I fully understand and accept titles such as "his majesty" "his royal highness" etc. since in most cases they originated from royal bloodlines. But "his holiness?" No way I could accept that.

Therefore, if the supreme head of the Catholic church is a "deceit" as a consequence everything under him is also a perceived deception.

You can replicate this thought pattern and apply it to every religious leader, of every religion, to reach the same conclusion.

Amen and well said. I went through a similar situation. I came from a Catholic family, the youngest of 8 kids. When I was younger, I am 55 now, I realized something was not right about the Catholic Church and what they stood for. I was in my teens. So I stopped going to church. I realized I only needed to speak to GOD. No one in between me and my Heavenly Father. Just GOD and JESUS.

amein v AMEIN. Yet a relationship with the Creator of ALL things is imperative, even as it is written. He is the One who is faithful and the only One worthy of all praise and honor and glory.
None of us need institutions...we only need Him.
God bless you on your journey, and thank you for the follow!

I have an extremely similar experience. My mom stayed devoted until she was stricken with dementia. Now, learning even more about their evils is astounding.
