"Spirituality" is also a bunch of crap.

About the only thing worse that organized religion is do-it-yourself religion. Sooner or later, you end up castrating yourself and committing suicide in a San Diego mansion while you wait for the mothership hiding behind Comet Hale-Bopp to come pick you up.

I think I would stick with Catholicism.

Now that you mentioned it, probably not unless, God himself appointed him.

. . .. Why is the Catholic Church still even alive today after committing so many transgressions itself?
