Catholic Church Scandal!

I don't support them. That is, I don't donate money to the local church or the Archdiocese of New Orleans. I remain a believer in that I still profess the Apostle's Creed. My belief in those things professed was never dependent upon the character of individual priests or bishops. Other Catholics probably think I'm a bad Catholic, though, since I don't think the Church's teachings on human sexuality are all correct, among other things.

But can't you profess the Apostle's Creed somewhere else or on your own? Why does it have to be in association with an organization that aids and abets sexual predators of children? Is it that you believe your salvation can only come from you being Catholic? Do you think an organization that aids and abets sexual predators is empowered to speak for Jesus?

Low hanging fruit parallel, but, Nazi Germany did a number of good things. If someone calls themselves a Nazi, do you accept that they are only a Nazi for the good things?
