There's nobody who doesn't have problems with the church, because there's sin in the church. But there's no other place to be a Christian except the church.

There is too much theology in the Church now, and too little of the Gospel.

It's troubling for me as a Catholic to be at odds with the church.

It's very difficult to determine whether this is the fault of the world that has abandoned the Church, or the Church that does not know how to relate to the world.

The quality of the Lord's church on earth, cannot be seen by any man, so long as he lives in the world, still less how the church in process of time has turned aside from good to evil.

People have really strong images of what church is, and it's almost certainly not the same as mine.

Others don't want to listen to viewpoints that members of the church have.

It bums me out tremendously what the church has become, and if it's got me bummed, imagine what Jesus Christ must be feeling.

We've got to deal with the fact that the church has been violently prejudiced against gay people. We've murdered them; we've burned them at the stake; we've run them out of town for something over which they have no control. And that's immoral.

People who are stuck in a Catholic church, that's OK for them because that's what they need right now.
