[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Catholic, went to Catholic school, got all the sacraments. We married in a Catholic ceremony and got the kids baptized in the church. We are both sort of agnostic. I believe in God in a general sense and I think Jesus had a great message that isn't really reflected in any version of Christianity that I've encountered. I don't know that that makes me from a religious standpoint but I'm comfortable with this. We don't force religion on our kids and I encourage them to explore their own views and feelings.

I think being Catholic is a strong identity and there's a lot to enjoy in it, apart from actual religious beliefs. Don't worry about whether your beliefs actually jive with the church-- polling of Catholics indicates that most of us don't believe what we are "supposed" to. Still, it is [b]a strong cultural tradition to pass to our kids[/b]. Just go with it. You're actually doing what most Catholics do. [/quote]

like centuries of covering up pedophilia.

Seriously, all the traditions can be found in the episcopal church, without the evil at the core.[/quote]

This sounds like an episcopalian to me.  Perfectly politically correct about certain matters (e.g., would never dare say anything bad about Islamn) but willing to cheerfully call[b] the church founded by St. Peter on Christ's instruction "evil at the core."[/b]

You don't have to be episcopalian to know that -- just follow the pedophilia scandal.  It wasn't a few bad apples.   It went straight to the top -- to the core, you might say.
