However, we all have beliefs which fly in the face of the catholic church.  We are all heading to a very dear friend of the family's gay wedding in a month.  Many of our friends are gay, and we believe strongly that they should have the right to marriage.

I have three teens, and I want all of them to use birth control.

In the past, my entire family and my husbands family has kind of done what I think is a pretty typical catholic "thing": we went to church, called ourselves catholic, and then on the side, held our own beliefs.

This, plus the role of women in the church, is what led me to leave the Catholic church as a young adult. I tried out a few different denominations but settled at a Methodist church that is very welcoming to gay people.  I know a lot of former Catholics at our church.  It feels comfortable because the service has a lot of the formality and ritual I was accustomed to in Catholicism but I like that my DD can see women being real leaders.[/quote]
