Rock n' Roll Doggie
As an agnostic, this may be totally off-base, but to my perception, I believe Bono is not happy with the way the Church is because it has been full of too many sins, too many mistakes and far too much corruption. Money and greed (televangelists and such) and the recent molestation charges against priests, and so on. Imagine what it would be like (if you do not know already) if the one true thing you believed in was being mottled and ruined by others. Perhaps you may lose faith, or you may still believe. Or, you could be disgusted with it, AND still believe in religion and God. Hasn't organized religion almost gotten a bad name, in some ways? Even if God and such itself was still true, others had corrupted it for their own benefit. I can completely understand why people still participate and believe in it, but if you had truly been horrified by what people "in the name of God" had done, such as killing, wouldn't you be sick of it?
What I'm trying to say, I guess, is that you can STILL believe, and still be angry with the way people are mistreating religion, and that is what I think Bono is feeling. I know there *are* good churches, good priests, good ministers, etc. that truly are wonderful people but sometimes you have to pay attention to the worse details before you can enjoy the good ones. Especially when they can be as bad as they are.
I am not trying to force this onto anyone, just my 2 cents.
