[quote=Anonymous]Lapsed Catholic here who left the church for a variety of reasons including its stance on the social issues you mention. That said, many not raised in the faith have a lot of misconceptions about it and you might consider delving into your husbands newfound faith with an open mind. I am not saying you should attend church and certainly not convert, but talk frankly with your husband about what he gets out of the experience. I'll never rejoin the church yet I still feel a sense of comfort and familiarity when I attend Mass (which is almost never but on occasion when I'm visiting my very catholic mother).

You come across as a little biased against Catholicism without knowing much about it. My extensive experience with actually practicing Catholics is that many are less conservative and more tolerant in practice than the dogma of the church would have one believe. In addition, it is somewhat ridiculous to suggest that your husband just swap out a different church. While there are exceptions that have been cited here, many Protestant churches have similar objections on certain social issues.[/quote]
