Not baby related

But religion related. If this isn’t your thing, I respect that. Recently, I began to distance myself from the Catholic Church. There’s a lot of self searching that I’ve had to do but what’s gotten to me is the cases of abuse that have come to light in BOTH of the parishes that I attended. I am in a place where I don’t know. I feel like I need a church setting to praise and worship (this is personal preference) but I can’t ignore the issues that have happened. My mom is super “prayer for the priest, for forgiveness” and to continue attending because it’s what’s right. And just researching about so much of it, I can’t continue. And too me, it’s enough. Anyone on here left the Catholic Church? Did you indoctrinate something else? I am so lost.

This post is no way to bash the church or anyone’s view. I respect all. For me, it’s a hard choice but feel that’s it’s right in my heart.

I also posted on here cause most of my friends and family are Catholic. I’d like some unbiased views from others.
