[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is a game changer.  My DH and I grew up Catholic.  I no longer consider myself Catholic. My DH and went into the marriage with our eyes open.  We talked extensively about it and it was a deliberate decision not to marry in the Catholic Church.  If he decided to return to the Catholic Church, we'd have to do some seriously counseling.  It's not 'church' I have an issue with, it's the Catholic Church.  I'd need to undestand why he needed Catholicism and how both of our needs could be met.

I would not allow him to take our children.  I understand other people are okay with it but I would never allow my kids to be in an environment where discrimination against women and girls is supported.  The church allows the prohibition of altar girls and that alone would be enough for me. My DDs are just as worthy as my DSs. [/quote]

My DH and I were both raises Catholic and turned away from the Church for these and other reasons.  I miss the rituals more than he does, but I'd never go back, and I would have a really hard time staying married to someone who did, since it would reflect a fundamental shift in his values.  I never want my son to worship in a Church that raises men above women (except for a mythical pure virgin venerated above all except God).

I couldn't "support" that and understand completely why this is way more than a question of a couple hours a week.[/quote]

Agree with both of you.[/quote]
