Oh... I dunno if you've found a new one since then... Perhaps it's time to go to another church. The Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ Himself is waving. 👋😁

Hello, @artgirl,
Thanks for stopping by, and for your kind invitation... which—much as I appreciate it—I must decline. You see, although I do believe in "the holy catholic church (Greek: ecclesia)," please note the "small 'c'" in "catholic."
The word catholic means "universal." If you read my writings about The Kingdom of Jesus our God, and about The Word of God (and, oh, I'm so glad you found this article, and I hope you will read some more at your convenience?)—if you read me, you'll find that I believe Jesus our LORD has a completely different kind of plan for his ecclesia (BTW, that Greek word literally means "assembly" and had a common and particular meaning when it appeared in the New Testament; it was the assembly of people who managed local city affairs.
In other words, what has degenerated into what we now see would better be titled "City Management Groups" in order for our modern minds to understand the purpose. Furthermore, these city management groups *each and all fall under the direct, individual headship of Jesus our God himself. There are no hierarchical organizations needed or wanted, because King Jesus is quite capable of managing and directing each local congregation of his people without any intervening, merely human form of organization.
I hope that makes some sense? Please do browse the articles I've already written at the links I've embedded above, and thank you again for your kind visit and suggestion/invitation. I hope to hear more from you and am happy to answer any questions if what I've said is unclear.
Blessings!

It's alright. Thought you still needed a new church community. Anyway for sure Jesus has an open invitation to Catholicism for anyone anytime, including you. God bless your spiritual journey. 😁
Thanks for your gracious reply, and again for interacting with me here on Hive.🙏😀
