The first thing was how the catholic church handled the sex abuse allegations.

The second thing was how they taught that the Bible was "the literal word of God", then changed church doctrine away from the Bible whenever it suited them.

The third thing was how, when my son died at 15, everyone was ok with that being "part of God's plan". What the fuck kind of God has a plan that requires 15 year olds to die?

By now, it all just seems like so much insanity.
