It's a sham faith that should've been dissolved centuries ago.

God needs his name to be carried on through time. That involves keeping a church for him to carry that name. Through all of the lies, greed and deceit the Catholic church has brought over it's history I believe that God let it all happen for some reason. You have to remember that the members of the church do alot of good things and have good intentions as well as many of it's leaders. I have had no problems with any of the priests we had. They were genuine. It is hard to find sometimes, but they do still exist.
