Take the whole recent scandal with priests and sexual molestation...they all but brushed it off in a general sense. Sure, they made statements that sound like they want to effect change, but their doctorines are all but meaningless. My own father left the catholic priesthood and married my mother after he found the church to be sorely lacking in modern ideas. As the saying goes, spirituality is when I believe what I want to believe...religion is when I try to push those beliefs on you. As for everything coming together the way it has...I don't know that 4 billion years is too little time to have gotten where we are. But hey...that's me.

I dont even wanna talk about catholosism, to me that portion of christianity has been corupt since damn near the beginning.
