Seem to be appearing more often the older I get. I don’t feel I’m better than anyone else but I fail to see the need to look up to very many leaders or men of the cloth. Respect and extreme faith were instilled in many as a child and many children where hurt and damaged by these runaway demigogary and faith in meer men. Disciples were instucted by Jesus to be fishers of men. To spread the good news of the bible. But through politics, like other forms of government, faith and religion became a means to an end. These are just my thoughts but men of the cloth are to be leaders and motivators to Christianity not judge, jury and prosecutor. I prefer the quiet church where I feel connection with my Lord. The ten commandments are my law and lifeline. The church laws have amended and twisted Gods law. I do feel my 8 years of Catholic education was more of indoctrination rather than a well rounded education. Everyday I came home with more fear and more things to fight against. Children need the religious belief of God but God in faith with life beyond the here and now. The 7 sacraments were given by God to help us live in Grace not fear. Where did making your Easter duty or not being able to have a Christian BURIAL come from? Church law or Gods law? Seems to me that like all political organizations basic laws are expanded to make human intervention by those incharge more relavant.
Jesus welcomes all who believe in the Father. Who decided that only certain people are welcomed. It should welcome all sinners as Saint exists only in the afterlife of heaven. Good men exists but power corrupts unless love and justice exists in each heart. God Bless the World.
