I left because Catholic nuns, priests and other staff are MEAN!
Another issue that deeply hurt me was that when I had school problems (caused by autism but we didn't know that then) because I was so anxious and did not "fit in" my father felt that I did not have the "ability" to become a priest, when other nasty guys did. Why didn't God call me and give me a quality education so I could "come to his call"? When I recieved special education, no Catholic high school in the area would accept me and most priests went to Catholic high schools.
