I plagiarized this post from THE DEACON'S BENCH. It's well worth stealing.
"To be connected with the church is to be associated with scoundrels, warmongers, fakes, child-molesters, murderers and hypocrites of every description.
It also, at the same time, identifies you with saints and the finest persons of heroic soul of every time, country, race and gender.
To be a member of the church is to carry the mantle of both the worst sin and the finest heroism of soul because the church always looks exactly as it looked at the original crucifixion, God hung among thieves."
Father Ronald Rolheiser, THE HOLY LONGING
