For my part, I'm trying to leave the Church behind without the bitterness and anger I often see in ex-Catholics. The Church is practically dead with the quality of new priests way down and right-wingers holding sway. The only folks who seem to have a positive mission are the nuns and they're under pressure from Rome. The Church is over, they just don't know it yet.
The German ped scandal is the one to watch, it could reach the Vatican. It is interesting how little credence the folks left in the Church give to these scandals attributing it more to a leftist atheist agenda in the press than the upside-down nature of the Churches stance on sexuality.
