[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm the poster from the Catholic church in Arlington.  As a convert from Episcopalianism (I used to go to St. Albans and the Cathedral), I second the motion that you try some Catholic churches.  You will find a very rich faith life there that helps you with the daily struggles you mention.  I promise.  And there are quite a range of "political" messages depending on the parish (though I have never found them overwhelming -- they come up in context when relevant to the Gospel reading at our NOVA church).  We left the Episcopal church about 12 years ago when we thought it had gone off the deep end, and because we didn't feel that we were developing at all spiritually.  You will likely struggle with some of the messages you hear at any church, but at least in ours politics is not the main focus.  And there is never ever anything that would cause us to keep our children out of Mass.  Good luck![/quote]

I am Episcopalian and really could never become Catholic. The whole church structure is absurd, with the Pope and rules on birth control..talk about anti-women! It really isn't an option for most Episcopalians to consider.[/quote]

so the Catholic structure is absurd, but the Episcopal structure is not?  got it.[/quote]

I agree that the Catholics are just anti-women--and the anti-abortion thing is untenable. I guess I just wish the Episcopal church could be a leeetle more conservative. St. C's [b]has completely gone off the rails [/b]from what the general parishioner's life issues are.[/quote]
