The new pope is a breath of fresh air and seems to have his priorities straight wrt Trump. I was raised Catholic but then took the evangelical route.
Currently...I'm not attending any church services, but consider myself a Christian. For whatever reason....I'm simply not feeling called to attend a church right now.
I was actually relieved when Covid hit and I had an excuse not to attend. I had gotten to the point where the only part of church I enjoyed was the sermon itself and also helping in the kid's room (when needed/scheduled) during the service. I felt that I was helping the church that way and attended enough to be connected.
With the age of Trump and post-Covid...my desire dropped down even further on church attendance.
I was raised Protestant, converted to Catholicism when I was 22. I feel in the age of Trump we need Christ more than ever, and to receive the Eucharist as “Viaticum”- food for this dreadful journey.
My beliefs are mostly not there anymore. But I do see Christ's mercy as relevant to living properly. I am still a member of the choir but rarely attend services except when i sing.

We sure could use a lot more Christ-like behavior!
