[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH is not imposing his need for spiritual life on his DW.  It is the same as if he chose to go to the gym on Sunday morning. I don't understand why OP and some of the other PPs think this is such a big deal. [/quote]

Because they are intolerant, controlling and close-minded and cannot abide that anybody should be different from them. Their way or the highway. [b]They are Right and Elect and everybody else is Wrong and damned[/b]. Yeah they are secular, but they are still acting like Puritan fanatics.[/quote]

[b]The IRONY!  This is exactly what the Catholic Church says!  This is why I left the Catholic Church!  I find it hard to believe OP's DH couldn't find a church that was more respectful of differing beliefs.  [/b]My DH is Catholic but understood why I couldn't be married by a Catholic priest.  We attend a Unitarian Universalist church which nicely accommodates and respects our beliefs.[/quote]

Really? The Catholic Church us hardly culturally exclusionist. That's why it is called "catholic." I have been to mass on almost every continent and find the various expressions and interpretations of the liturgy quite refreshing. I enjoy a traditional Latin mass, but probably found my favorite at a church in Nairobi that contained traditional African elements. I have also been able to connect with people of different cultures throughout the world through my participation in the Catholic Church.

Finally, I would say that those hung up on the Church's teachings in human sexuality don't really quite understand what it fundamentally means to be Catholic. [/quote]
