Dealings with the Roman Catholic Church

My childhood overall was okay. The worst thing I did was denounce God and the best thing I did was horseback riding camp which lasted a week. The denouncing God thing lasted about 20 something years while in the process of becoming an astrologist beginning at age 13. I suppose this is me being an idealist in thinking that the catholic (meaning "universal") church was there to help others and if the catholic church could not help directly then the church would find who could help or at least show a direction in which to take for help.

However, this was not the Roman Catholic Church in which my family at the time attended during my most formidable childhood years. My family went to the priests for help and stated that they could not help us and that was the end of discussion thus the end of my relationship with the Roman Catholic Church and God.
