I don't have a problem with the Catholic religion - I feel people need faith - I just have a very difficult time understanding most things about the Catholic religion.
I live in the Midwest - Illinois. There is, without exageration, a new church being built 24/7. And they're huge! These gigantic churches, with indoor pools, gyms, etc. Why? And does the money that people donate to the church go to this? I've seen priest who live in giant homes and drive expensive cars. The money collected in church - I never see it put to GOOD use. I never see where local churches feed the poor, shelter the homeless, etc. But, I do see them sponsoring vacations for youth, building outrageous buildings, hookin up the priest. This seems wrong for a religion. Shouldn't they be helping the needy instead of gaining material items for themselves?
This is not an insult - an honest question.
