thanks so much for your truth and honesty.
fundamentalists i'm sure are aware of your observations and truthfully cannot deny your findings. i feel that the politicking through the church, throughout time has served only the perpetrators but scarred it for the rest.
how does one get back to the 'basics'? i dont mean let the 'dogma' etc. go over ones head and look upon God, Jesus and it's truth to the righteous, but to sever the fiction that lies within the church itself so that we can return to what Jesus and his disciples preached through our Holy Father. Tom.
