You just can't win

One day someone tells me that all priests care about is money. How can you ask a young family to increase their giving to support the parish. "The priest asked us for money when we had none
. . . that's the reason I don't go to Church."
The next day someone tells me that we need to get rid of those schoolkids whose families don't support the parish. "Those people are a bunch of freeloaders . . . that's why I don't go give to the Church."

The Church is too easy on divorce. Marriage used to be sacred. Now you can just get an annulment and everything is fine.
The Church is too tough on those whose marriage have failed. Why does the Church makes people go through the difficulty and anxiety of an annulment. People make mistakes, get over it, don't make them jump through hoops to move on with their life.
