[QUOTE="Leonard D Neubache, post: 1276356, member: 11069"] Everyone gets to choose their level of participation in the Church and the support they offer it. They get to choose their parish to the extent they're willing to travel at any rate. They get to choose whether they allow their children to be in the company of a priest unaccompanied or whether they give money for the church or the priest during mass. You're not obligated to report to your nearest church, pay fifty bucks at the ticket booth and surrender your sons to father Gaylisp every Sunday. You may feel disinclined to judge the wicked among the Church but perhaps you can think of being picky about who in particular you support and where you support them as "rewarding good" rather than "punishing evil".
