There's hypocrisy, conflict and scandal in every religion. There are those who are zealots, casual observers, and total abusers. Faith is looking beyond the human aspect of your religion and accept the higher meaning. That there is a God, that there is a Plan, Jesus loves you, and that part of your duty as a Catholic is to look beyond the faults and misdeeds of those around you and know in your heart that all of the above is true. Faith isn't about the priests, or the church, the money or the scandal; it's about the message. Cut through all that crap and you'll see that there is no wrongness in the message, just the messengers. This link lists the top 22 world religions. You can take a look around there. Hope that helped.
A lo hecho, pecho.
