if you ever need to royally screw someone over, stand in a theater and recite this curse

Oh may you be usurped as Prospero, your title and you joy untimely ripped as fair Macduff was from his mother’s womb. And with your values like Antonio, your actions there within will not be his. Instead, feel misery as Shylock did endure and suffer at vile Anton’s hands. One day I’ll hear you shout, “Oh lord, why me? Hell is empty and all the devils’re here!” What god will answer to a liar and a thief? You egg, now suffer like the oth’rs. You are a plague upon the earth, so now disease rid’n be! Vile worm! The Wives of Winds’r take up the cry as well. From Rome, they shout: “Villain, I have done they mother.” and then,  “You worse than senseless things!” Bloody, baudy villain! Remorseless, you  treacherous lecherous kindless villain! We curse, we spit, we scoff at thee! Vipers are your brains and values. You insult our  brother. Trag’dy, com’dy, hist’ry, we tell our tales alone, but stand together now when one of us be injured, our wrath we will proclaim. Gird they loins, you dem’n scum. We grant you bloody, luxurious, avaricious, false, deceitful, sudden, malicious, smacking of ev’ry sin with name.  Nevermore be in good health for canon speaks the curse: Macbeth

Protestantism, mostly the non-denominational/liturgical based protestantism, can sometimes be troubling to me because the faith seems so tied to the church (physical) rather than the Church (omniscient). So many people I know have a faith that only goes so far as what their particular church can give them instead of the Church as a whole can give everyone.

For example, one of my friends is part of a non-denominational church that is very much tied to the worship music. Without that worship music - being involved with the almost stage production concerts - it's almost like her faith wouldn't even exist. This reliance on how things "feelings" makes everything seem hallow. There isn't anything practical.

Another example is my sister-in-law. She is Presbyterian and has been with her church, and specifically the pastor of the church, for many years. I've gone to their service a couple of times and honestly found myself wondering, "What's the point?" That sounds so harsh, but everything discussed is determined by the pastor. He just decides he wants to talk about something and then everyone listens. And Lord knows that if/when the pastor retires, then what happens to the community? Do they just disperse? Do they hope to find someone to take his place? It seems too fragile, too reliant on one individual.

It doesn't even have to be as dramatic as that. If either goes on vacation, they do not seek out other churches to fill that void. Maybe they'll watch the service online, but overall they'll just wait until they can go back again in person. Since each church is so siloed, there isn't a way to get the sustenance because you're not at the physical place. Again, so fragile.

This is not me saying that your faith should not include a strong community. Lord knows that my church growing up helped shape me to the woman I am today. I literally spent summers running around, getting to know everyone as they watched me grow up. But having such a reliance on the physical church instead of the universal church, the omniscient church, just seems so… empty? Like your faith could just absolutely crumble at the drop of the hat and you’re left with nothing.

I dunno, it's time like these that I'm thankful for my Catholic faith. I know that I can go to my parish, the parish down the street, a parish in a different state/country/continent and it'll all be the same. There is this home base of The Church and not just a specific building that happens to be closest to me. That safety only strengthens my faith and my decision to continue my faith.
