Cmore: The Catholic Church is having trouble now that the members are getting more educated. The Church's main strong holds over the world are often third world countries with largely uneducated populations. Some of their doctrines fly in the face of common sense. One being birth control. Another being the celibacy rules with Priest. That is pure Propel degree. They were about to marry until the mid ages. So a lot of this is making it harder for a thinking person to blindly follow a Church or any order.
Yes there are a lot of colleges, orphanages, and hospitals that where started by the Catholic Church. I am not damning everyone or everything the Church has done.
I am just saying that when you get very far past the local Leadership it gets materialistic real quickly. The local rural Churches are closing in this area. The population has moved. Some of the town Churches need expanded to handle more people. The local one here is doing that right now. About million dollar deal. ZERO money from the Arch Diocese. Three country churches have been close and sold off. 4-5 farms in the area donated to the local church then sold. All that money went up the ladder but none back down to the Church that is left. So it is kind of like sending your money to Washington DC.
Cmore: I would guess your Catholic and still have loads of faith in your Church. I am glad for you. I guess I am getting old and cynical in that I just see more bad then good in a lot of the Churches. One of my OLDEST friends is one of the local Catholic Priests. We just have to agree to disagree. LOL I will say you and I will just have to do the same thing.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
