PERSONAL FAITH, RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS & OCCULTISM

Many people with a strong sense of personal faith have left the Establishment Church behind because they feel that the Church has so dismally failed in its responsibility, and has become an institution of piety more than a purveyor of faith and divine inspiration.

Historically all institutions become corrupted over time as rules replace ideals and dogma replaces time honored traditions, spiritual conviction, and morality.

It's the same with all institutions: spiritual or secular; replacing idealism over time with a desire for power and personal advancement. This transition is not by accident, nor is it unusual.
