[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he married in a Protestant church, he was not catholic. My sister did this and it was a show. It does not sound like he was very interested in religion, if he never attended church. Catholics go to church a lot.[/quote]

Really?  I bet you can't find statistics to back that up.  Given the number of churches closing around the country, I can't imagine that that is accurate.  Better to say that [i]some[/i] catholics go to church a lot.[/quote]

I'm not the PP you quoted.

[b]PRACTICING Catholics go to church on Sundays and Holy days of obligation.   That is the minimum for a practicing Catholic.   Many practicing Catholics will choose to attend at additional times as well--many parishes hold mass every day.[/b]

Some PEOPLE will call themselves Catholics, yet not attend mass on the required days.  Some PEOPLE will call themselves Catholic yet use birth control.    Some PEOPLE will call themselves Catholic yet support "pro choice" policies/political candidates/etc.[/quote]

I would argue: Not MANY.  In fact most of us don't. Who has time?!
