That's great Mikey....but you might consider:

"What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul - in fact, what can a man give in place of his soul?" - Jesus Christ

Material wealth will one day fade away -hopefully you know that "only what you do for Christ will last."

I was a seminarian for about a month when I figured out that the priesthood was a secret club of very respectable homosexuals who hid behind the robes of God and weren't any more pious than any other man.
I quit and became my own man with my own code of morality.
I am prepared for a spot in hell, however, a cooler one, as I once helped an old lady cross a busy street.

Respectfully - it sounds as if you were exploring the Catholic faith. There is a great book called "Fifty Years in the Catholic Church" that speaks of many of the "secret clubs" within the church. Chinquy talks about a 'secret tunnel' that connected the nun convent to the parish, and a 'hidden underground cemetery' where all the illegitimate babies fathered by the priests were buried. I try to never bash anyone's religion, however, IMO -Catholicism is lacking in many spiritual t***hs.

I wasn't exploring Catholicism, it was shoved down my throat since birth.
Catholic school for 13 years, seminary 6 months, and a catholic family and friends.
Catholicism was the most successful club in history. It is deteriorating now, and if it doesn't modernize as a club, it will go under. It's a respectable haven for gays, pederasts, and hypocrites who want a good life as a priest knowing that they are living a lie.

I cannot argue with you on those points. I know a lot of Catholics, and sadly, most of them fit into your description.

Mikey - I am actually sorry that you had to endure all of that. But, you survived and you thrived! God is capable of doing so much more than what we acknowledge, and if you trust HIM (damn the rigidity of Catholicism) -He will make your paths straight!
