Having Trouble With the Catholic Church

I am... disappointed in my church.

I thought about blogging about it, but discovered my concerns already addressed eloquently elsewhere in the blog-o-sphere.

Basically, it seems like the wrong sorts of fights to be fighting. It seems like the wrong way to increase membership. It seems like we haven't had a strong female role model for faith since Mother Theresa passed on.

It's getting harder and harder to be a Catholic. I hope things turn around. It's gotten so I feel somewhat embarrassed to mention that I'm Catholic in polite company.
