Reading Catholic history, I’ve observed, is spending a lot of time watching Catholics minister to the poor in inventive & often amazing ways, but then really bad stuff happens. The experience is like “Oh heck yes! Go Catholics, GO! Wait, no. STOP. NO! STOP. CATHOLICS NO—GO BACK!”
@calvinjburke it’s almost like no religion is perfect. A little bit of good, a little bit of bad. And sometimes a lot. 😱
@kristinwardle THIS. As someone really wise I know told me a long while ago, most of life is deciding which problems you will choose to work with/against to try to improve things. I decided a while ago that I would pick the Mormon problems. After looking at other problems I could have chosen, I don't regret my decision at all thus far!
