Catholicism is in a sad state of affairs, and although I like the new pope I might not be able to accept that so many Catholics truly believe that many things are evil that I believe are acceptable.

He struggles with the Church, but, not his faith. And, I admit...his faith is admirable. One of the things I've always loved about him, but, he knows it will be a cold day somewhere if I ever convert to Catholicism.BadParentingMomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029703381098618823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346136223430272580.post-68040476199705929692014-01-27T22:49:58.048-05:002014-01-27T22:49:58.048-05:00Your old man was pretty smart, Phil.

And my kids were involved, too. But being an insider to all the politics that go on in a church actually turned me off from it. I haven't been in YEARS, but my kids go on Christmas Eve and Easter---by their own choice. I think I just haven found the right church family and hope to get back into it.

When I was 16, I was kicked out of my confirmation class for asking too many questions. Questions like; why does the church frown upon unwed mothers when, technically, Jesus was a bastard? and Why, when according to the bible, Jesus hung out with 11 other dudes wearing dresses and open toed shoes, does the church not like gay people? I feel like the Catholic Church needs to iron out it's consistency issues before they'll get me to buy in completely.Bimbolinahohttp://www.bimbolinaho.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346136223430272580.post-67391211763770369092014-01-27T18:42:36.144-05:002014-01-27T18:42:36.144-05:00I definitely get where you're coming from Joli...I definitely get where you're coming from Jolie.

Growing up I didn't ever feel that sense of warmth and community at our old church, and I didn't really feel it much when we moved to Mays Landing. But I know that religion is more than just community, and I just haven't found it yet. I've found community here, just not the spiritual peace everyone else seems to have.SnarkfestBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654521423192515080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346136223430272580.post-6062968761688149552014-01-27T18:31:57.729-05:002014-01-27T18:31:57.729-05:00I know exactly what you mean, Synnove.
