Someone should tell this to my Catholic church, which has a booth at pride every year and loves us wholeheartedly. It’s because of churches like St Leo that I came back to the Church after years away.

The child abuse, pedophilia, and coverup in the church is disgusting and evil. I thought seriously about not going back, but I feel a deep connection with my Oma (grandma) through the church. The best parts of the church for me are from women - like Mary and the female mystics.
My grandmother is 93 and when I do attend on a rare occasion, it is with her. What an interesting connection
my favorite parts were midnight mass, frankincense and choir. I love to harmonize, though I don’t sing much any more. I’m an alto. I miss that about the church.
