Actually I attended mass daily for quite a number of year.
Quote: "We ask the blessed Mary, ever virgin, all the angels and saints, and you my brothers and sisters to pray for me to the Lord our god."
astagfirallah
My opinion, as somebody who has left the catholic church, is not that people leave because of misinformation, but people leave because of the undeniable shirk that has penetrated and saturated every aspect of their worship. I know FHC wont agree but the above quote is proof of that. Perpetual virginity is a minor issue compared to the reast of it isnt it?
As far as marriage without sex to acheive a higher moral ground, well I guess the effects are easily seen in the high numbers of sexual abuse and homosexual events going on with unmarried preists.
My opinion is that much of what the church does defies not only logic, but our very nature. So if people leave, its not much of a surprise, they are only being true to their inner selves.
May Allah guide us and forgive us.
