[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grew up Catholic, married in the church, though disagreed with some of the teachings (lack of science) of PreCana. Since then, the child abuse scandal happened, my brother got divorced, I support gay marriage, and I support a woman’s right to abortion. So I took an extended break from the religion because I disagreed with so many tenets that I felt like a fraud.

I miss mass and the contemplative nature of Sunday gathering. I did some research on finding a new religion that checks all my boxes and it’s basically Judaism and I don’t think I can convert.

I had a realization recently and am considering just going again. I don’t agree with several things but I feel like if I teach my kids why, snd I take it for what it’s worth, then I might be OK. I truly miss the feeling that I get from Sunday mass, and I don’t think there are better options.

Any thoughts?[/quote]

I was you. So much happier as a “high church” (liturgically) Episcopalian. The service is incredibly similar to traditional Catholic Mass, with a much more liberal world philosophy (just avoid churches that call themselves “Anglican” in the US, as that’s the right wing splinter group here, who took their toys and went home because one state ordained a gay, partnered bishop).[/quote]
