Who is the Church?

I had planned to write an entry today about how I'm finally finding myself more comfortable identifying myself as a Catholic, even as the "leadership" of the Church becomes more visibly dysfunctional by the day. This hasn't been an easy journey for me, as I've tried to record here in a series of entries going back to 2008 (I recently made those posts public, so if you didn't see them because you weren't included on the limited reading list and want to read them, click on the "catholic" tag to see them).
