Ya I'm Catholic.
It is perfectly understandable that you would not want to be part of an organized religion what with all the scandals and deceit, however, it should be noted that there is no more of that in the Catholic Church than there are in any other large organization. Those people just see the priesthood, etc as a position of power and respect which they can abuse.
I am very spiritual on a personal level like yourself as well, however, I do not think that I always know what is best for me and the Church with its Catechism, Encyclicals and especially the teachings of Christ in particular are a welcomed guide to righteous living for me. Its sad that secular society has given the Church such a bad name but in regards to accusations of the Church being homophobic, misogynistic, etc I recommend that you (or anyone who holds such opinions) read the Pope's (or better yet Jesus') teachings and you will see there is much more love in the teachings than hate and that the accusations are unjustified.
Sorry for rambling.
