Why do most people believe in an afterlife? Are they so in need of some kind of reward for their behavior? Does being kind, compassionate, or loving have positive value of its own?
Does a corrupt and heinous Catholic Church deserve our loyalty, or even our respect? I would say "no" to both. If we honestly believe in a God, or more specifically in "Jesus -- than how can we possibly follow this version of Catholcism? It is our moral duty to abandon and condemn this "evil" Church. This Church must change -- perhaps even deconstruct itself, to justify its very raison d'etre!
Faith resides in the individual, not in the Church.
