[quote=Anonymous][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 the church founded by St. Peter on Christ's instruction "evil at the core."

One would think that men of god raping kids as young as three - all OVER the world - would be evil to the core.

But go on and praise god!

Even the super-liberal Washington Post disagrees with you:  [url] http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/16/AR2010041602026.html [/url]
