[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a cradle Catholic who read all of the thought provoking posts...quick synopsis of reactions:

1. I don't really understand why anyone, of any religion, would "change their religion." If I was born and raised with a family of a different faith other than Catholic, I would not choose Catholic. Being Catholic is a real thorn in my side, at times. And I no longer practice.

Interesting. I'm a convert, but I was born and baptized a Protestant. However, I never connected with it. I think it was the lack of tradition. I always thought the Catholics did the rituals right. I don't recall anything unique about Protestant church. Not true of Catholicism though! I loved the Sign of the Cross, the candles, Hail Mary, the Rosary, the Holy Water, incense. All of it. As a kid, I wish I could be Catholic. I used to endure Protestant services (I really disliked the long sermons), but love going to Mass.

My kids may feel differently though. We'll see.[/quote]
