And it's not so much that Ann dislikes this, but that she dislikes what the imperfect teach, thinking of them as the authors of the teachings. How someone could who studied her way into the Church have missed that the Church is not guided by her imperfect members but by her head, Our Lord Himself, is beyond me. I can only speculate that she chose to ignore the supernatural aspect of the Church. However, I honestly think that it's a phase. Just like the Catholic Ann Rice took decades resiting the pull from Our Lord in His Church and spent a seemingly uncomfortable decade in it, she will come back again. As a matter of fact, I know someone whose story is made up by such conversion and reversion. May St. Ann, mother of Our Holy Mother, pray for her.

When one unpacks this definitionally, it becomes almost a tautology. And, as you say, that includes oneself as "the worst." The worst thing about Christianity (or, the Church) is Christians.

I read some of her Christian novels, and she seemed to be a really faithful orthodox Catholic. I didn't see this coming at all. Wow, this is really disappointing.
