[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They were entirely loving and accepting of my gay sibling (as was I) and it really made continuing in Catholicism seem absurd. [/quote]

Yes!. This is pretty much what ended my practicing.  My brother is gay.  I had.a hard time wrapping my mind around a religion that promotes this "love thy neighbor" idea but also believes gay people are going to hell.  The more I thought about it, the more the whole religion's concept unravelled for me.   What's funny is I think back now and some of the meanest and most judgemental people I've ever met were at Church.  [/quote]

Yes I can't quite admit I am a lapsed catholic but I basically am. I want to have what I had as a child, but i feel like all the good parts are being taken away from me by the conservatives. But yeah - main reason is my brother is gay and had a horrible time and was basically kicked out of seminary and it all just feels so horrible and hypocritical now. I don't know how to square that with giving my kids a similar upbringing to what I had.[/quote]
