Same. Although I am straight, the church's treatment of people I love who are gay was, I think, the fingernail under the linoleum that started chipping away at my beliefs. Like you, I still long for a spiritual practice, but belief eludes me.

Leo, thank you for your story. I too was a Roman Catholic. I still run old RC messages through my head. I guess more therapy is the answer. Or, perhaps, it's companionship for which I yearn and need.

That the largest relisious institution in the world still has it's prejudices and progroms shows how truly small this institution really is.

I'm not disordered, I'm disobedient and I wouldn't have it any other way. And I believe, neither would God.
