[quote=Anonymous]I can understand the pull, OP.

The Catholic Church has so much to offer, both to the individual and to society: it feeds, houses, clothes and cares for the sick and poor more than any other religious institution. The liturgy, music and prayers are beautiful and have been a part of mass for 2000 years (in one form or another). It's something to realize that no matter where you are in the world, the mass will be the same. Visiting centuries old churches in Europe and seeing the religious arts and icons deepen spiritual ties.

For what it's worth, almost every Catholic that I know does not agree with some of the Church's teachings. Conservatives Catholics aside, most mainstream Catholics follow the Vatican 2 edict, "Man has the right to act in conscience and in freedom so as personally to make moral decisions.”  Heck, 40-50% of American Catholics do not agree with banning or limiting abortion.

Remember, the people sitting next to you are the 'Church', not the Cardinals and Bishops who lead the church.
