But I agree with you that people's religion is a very personal thing. No one should be chastised for giving up on his or her particular religion because there are bad apples there. If that were the case, we'd have to give up on our democracy, n'est-ce pas? But we haven't, and we won't.
I'm sorry for what happened in the Catholic church, and I hope the fallout will effect changes. But as far as personal faith goes... well, you've had your faith forever. It's more than the church... it's personal between you and God, and wherever you feel most comfortable practicing that faith.
Okay, I'm done. Carry on!
