I guess it boils down to "I take the good and reject the bad," and tbf I doubt I'll ever find that particularly convincing as an outsider, so perhaps I'm fatally prejudiced here.
This is pretty much my mom's position. (My mom who is not only a practicing Catholic but also a graduate of Penn State University...)

a lot of catholics have issues with the church. in fact most catholics ive known, including very devout ones, daily communicants and the like, have issues with the church. when i was a kid my dad, who attended seminary for a time, told me that the pope (JP II) and Mother Teresa were fascists.
i can't speak to the convert experience, i have never personally known a convert to catholicism.

I think currents of belief like catholicism are easier to attack because they have an actual figurehead and structure that ppl can point to. That being said, with the amount of US catholics who go "well who cares what HE thinks" every time the current pope says something slightly progressive I think ppl shouldn't be surprised at people having catholicism as their value system while rejecting the church.

the main topic/article this week is pretty staggering
The largest undercover force the world has ever known is the one created by the Pentagon over the past decade. Some 60,000 people now belong to this secret army, many working under masked identities and in low profile, all part of a broad program called "signature reduction." The force, more than ten times the size of the clandestine elements of the CIA, carries out domestic and foreign assignments, both in military uniforms and under civilian cover, in real life and online, sometimes hiding in private businesses and consultancies, some of them household name companies.The unprecedented shift has placed an ever greater number of soldiers, civilians, and contractors working under false identities, partly as a natural result in the growth of secret special forces but also as an intentional response to the challenges of traveling and operating in an increasingly transparent world. The explosion of Pentagon cyber warfare, moreover, has led to thousands of spies who carry out their day-to-day work in various made-up personas, the very type of nefarious operations the United States decries when Russian and Chinese spies do the same.

will menaker: very good at it. he'd make a good film critic
matt christman: surprisingly bad. his reviews sound like high school essays or something, doesn't read as in his "voice" probably bc he doesn't care enough about movies to rant at them

When I was a teenager, I thought Virgil Texas was very funny. I asked him to proofread an essay I submitted to a website, and emailed it to him. The essay was about turning 16. We talked a little bit, and I thought he was very cool because he was funny and he lived in NY.— Jennifer Seberg (@JenniferSeberg) June 9, 2021
