how are cradle catholics dealing (or not) with their disgraced church?

this is a question with as many answers as there are cradle catholics. 

• some no longer call themselves catholics.
• some are "on the fence".
• many (probably most) are feeling angry, sad, betrayed.

here's a sampling:

CAN A CHURCH BETRAYED BECOME A CHURCH REDEEMED? – PAX CHRISTI USA 

for me personally, 

• I feel betrayed, sad and angry. 
• I'm "on the fence".
• it's hard to walk away from your church for 70+ years.
• in the 4th quarter of my life, I see myself as a christian--not so much as a catholic.
• it's back to basics: 
• bible
• prayer
• God's supremacy and sovereignty
• man's sinfulness and wickedness
• God's love and mercy for those who love God and who are sorry for their sins
