[quote=Anonymous]Nobody has mentioned (on this thread, maybe elsewhere) the long article in the Atlantic by James Carroll, a long-ago priest who recently stopped going to mass and says Catholics need to take the church back and get rid of the priesthood as it is right now. I'm not Catholic myself, but I had a long-time friend (passed away a few years ago and had been a housemate for several years at the time) who grew up Catholic and was very conflicted about his faith. He'd stayed away for a long time, then started going to mass a lot for a few years, then stopped going but did a huge amount of reading Catholic literature (Edith Stein, Pope Benedict, and less cerebral stuff as well) and carried his rosary, talked more with his brothers (also very conflicted about the church a lot. I often wondered if he had been a victim of priest abuse but he did not care for personal conversations, only very intellectual ones. [/quote]
