[quote=Anonymous]I left for these reasons but I almost regret it. I lost my community, my children's school, my traditions, my foundation. Majority of Catholics I know are loving, open minded and def think the church is way too old school but stay anyway because they love their community. However, I strongly suspect one of my sons is gay and I don't want him to be a.) in a community that doesn't accept his lifestyle (even though I know many of the individual's of the community will do nothing but support and embrace him) and b.) I don't want a young, confused gay preteen to be victimized by a priest, bc frankly that seems to be their target audience.  I miss the mass, the hymns, the coffee and donuts afterwards, my kids school which is the same one where both my husband and I attended (and where we met), I miss fish frys, midnight mass on Christmas Eve, and coaching in the sport leagues. I come from a very Irish family and my husband is 100 percent Italian and in both these cultures Catholism is very important. I realize many church's offer similar experiences and I have been poking around here and there and hope to eventually find another community. I feel strongly about my choice but I would never judge a anyone who stays and it certainly doesn't mean they support child molestation, in fact they are most likely extremely hurt and devastated, as every Catholic I know is.
