I don't lament the Roman Church's failings for my own personal gain, but for those who are caught up in this medieval system of bondage--including clergy members who are recruited and indoctrinated beginning at a very young age (I have seen this first hand)... too many unhealthy and un-Christian "habits" enshrined in doctrine, forcing people to choose between rational, healthy, honest assessments and supernatural gobbledygook.  Most people see through it nowadays but there are still hoards of people whose spiritual growth is trapped/stunted by this medieval, imperial-based theo-political "system."  Those are the people I am fighting for... for their sanity and their salvation, for whatever little part I can do to help them see the light.
