There is one thing holding me back from becoming a catholic…

Well, I’ll summarize my journey to where I’m at in my faith: I’m Protestant. Started to study the church fathers and post apostolic era. Discovered that 90% I knew about Catholicism was lies and half-truths.

I love Jesus Christ with all my body and soul, and always admired the reverence and devotion to God that the Catholic Church have, and after studying a lot about the church’s theology, I’m even am gravitating a lot away from Calvinism. And the more I study the more I gravitate towards the Catholic Church.

But, there is one thing holding me back a lot. Here in my city, it’s a small town in Brazil, and the church priest was caught having relations with a married woman. WhatsApp screenshots of conversations confirming all of it, pictures and all leaked, and the whole town was knowing about it.

Consequences? None! The guy still Father at the church and no one did nothing about it.

In my opinion this is outrageous! Unacceptable! It tarnishes the image of the church and the body of Christ. The mockery and disrespect grows, and no one does nothing about it. How could this (not only the adulterous one, but everyone that was neutral towards it) be a real representation of the will of our Lord and the real one church of God?

I’m really curious to know your guys opinion about it and how this things should be handled?

And if I’m wrong, sorry in advance. I guess I’m still learning.

May our Lord bless you all! ✝️⛪️
