"For me, one of the big problems with Catholicism is it is often more interested in being Catholic than it is in being Christian. When an issue arises, clergy and laity look first to church teaching, church rules, and practices rather than looking to the Gospels for direction."
The focus and  emphasis on preaching the Catechism of the Catholic Church rather than on living the Gospel life that Jesus modeled for us is flushing Christianity out of the church.
