[quote=Anonymous]I didn’t lapse until well into my 40s and may still go back...just struggling lately with a lot of things and my super boring parish priest isn’t a good motivator.
My parents and grandmother were Catholic in pretty much all the best ways.  Funny that PP was so against nuns—my mom was educated by Dominican sisters in HS and Ursuline sisters in college and loved them.  She had gone to public ES but got a scholarship for a very good HS and just always appreciated the wonderful and very feminist for its time education she received.  Almost all of the women she went to college with went on to very impressive careers as artists, teachers, professors, lawyers, business executives....and that was in the 50s!  
We always had priests in our house and they were always really nice guys.  Maybe we got lucky.  
My big problem with the church is that it now just seems like it is 100 years behind the times.  20, 30, 40 years I could accept.  But it’s 2020–when are they going to start accepting birth control?  The planet is literally drowning in humans.  I feel like they are only 30-40 years behind in gay rights, but probably 60 years behind on women’s rights and procreation issues, and I’m just getting really tired of it.[/quote]
