Reply to comment by Logistocrate in Ukraine war: Russia hits out as Pope labels minority ethnic soldiers 'cruel' by anthonyofyork

Just curious what it means to leave the church. Does it mean you just no longer attend mass and donate? Or does it mean you reject the entire Christian doctrine?

Lost faith. I still think of myself as spiritual, that there is (hopefully) more than just this fleeting existence. But as far as buying into any hierarchical structure that claims to speak for a supposed god...yeah, not doing that.

What if you strip away the hierarchy of the organized Catholic faith, but look at Christ's teachings on their own? How do you feel about those?
