The struggle between questioning the Catholic Church and still practicing his religion is daily for Jason Berry.

Since the 1980s, he has researched Church scandals both financial and lascivious, as a living. Perhaps more accurately, a calling.

On Thursday night, Berry took to the lectern at a North Naples church to advocate before an audience of around 120 people for hefty reforms, from Vatican City to local parishes.

Bishops and cardinals that should be removed. The creation of a justice system within the Church. Fiscal transparency from the top down. The problems are real and they are deep, he said. And because of them, he said the Church is “eroding.”
