[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read the whole thread, and want no part of the Catholic vs. Anti-Catholic debate...but isn't it possible that the husband is using the church as a place to find personal peace/comfort/introspection/whatever, without fully subscribing to every ideal of the church?  Just because he is going to church again doesn't mean he is a letter-of-the-law Catholic.  He is reverting back to what he knows from his upbringing, and may find the weekly masses comforting on a personal level.

I've had family members go back to church after decades away following the passing of their parents, I suspect, because it gives them a level of familiarity and comfort and a connection to the memories of their upbringings.

The husband isn't forcing the masses on his wife or kids.  To each their own, but it seems sad to me that the OP's priority is to focus on and debate every belief of the _____(insert church/religion here) and worry about 2 hours on Sunday morning, than be focused on the well-being of her husband (who seems to be benefiting from this is some way).[/quote]
