Oh Jesus!

Abstract

Even though I consider myself a Catholic, I'm not too much of a Churchgoer. My interest in participating in the liturgy and sacraments has waned off these last years, mainly because this is a Catholic Church that struggles with everything it tries to engage with, ranging from how it managed the divorce debate to the way the Parishes are wasting out. In fact, the self-mutilating attitude some parishes are taking by their old-fashioned attitudes and teaching is so disengaged and confrontational, it is incredible. The way the Church is connecting, or rather disconnecting with its followers, makes it an issue of concern and if the bull is not taken by the horns this institution will soon slip into irrelevance.
