Thanks, I appreciate that you have have developed a closeness to God through your sacramental spirituality. I happen to believe that the very nature of "mandated" sacraments is problematic for the Church, understanding of course they exist (in one form or another) across the board in most organized religions. The more I study organized religion, the more I see of greed, corruption, etc., yet I also find value in "church" so am not ready to discard it entirely just yet. I do realize there is nothing unique about my thoughts on these matters, however, they are unique to me and my personal journey with Almighty God... as you can surmise I have little use for the Roman hierarchy and their imperial ways.
