I was asked and became a Eucharistic minister which is mostly giving out Communion at mass and to the sick wherever they might be. I quit the church because I no longer could ignore what I considered wrong. A big one was telling people in very poor countries no to have safe sex because that was a sin. Aids, unwanted pregnancey was ok. There were lots of other reasons and the priest sex scandal was another but I'm not going into that now because we all know what has been going on. Getting back to the church's stance on sex, I remember walking past my parents bedroom and hearing my father say that the latin curio in Rome was made of a bunch of old men who sat around a table together and said if we can't have it(sex) they meaning secular men and woman can't either. My Dad was serious when he told my Mom. I surmised that he had just come from confession and he asked why can't we have protected sex. I came from a family of 6 and my 1 brother was very sickly. There is a lot wrong and people are no longer bullied by the church on that issue.
