Yes, there are many things wrong with the Church as an institution, but people know this and some are trying to reform these flaws (indeed, if Leah does convert, she will be a great one to do this).

I'm probably an outlier that I find some redeeming qualities in Catholicism precisely in the Church as an institution and not very much worthwhile in the beliefs of regular modern Western Christians.

Can you point to somewhere you've explained this already - or failing that, would you be so kind as to unpack it a little?

Yes, I'd also really like to hear your thoughts.
