[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Find a nurturing Catholic Church and go with her.  It is what you know.  It doesn't matter if you are agnostic.  [b]You can still go, just don't take communion if you don't feel ready.[/b]

Your question is really: my daughter is having a spiritual crisis. Where can I find an easy answer?

Walk the walk with the Catholics and she will get some spiritual knowledge and the tools to make an informed decision when she is ready.

Full disclosure: I am a Jew, as is my son.[/quote]

She can't take communion.[/quote]

until she goes to a priest and confesses her sins -- assuming she thinks she has sins to confess and that a  priest can absolve them -- and that this has anything to do with her daughter's existential crisis[/quote]

PP here.  The only points I am making are that 1. this little girl's crisis won't be solved with a purchase from Amazon. She is looking for spirituality and comfort and if you ask me, joining a religios community will help her.  2. Buy-in from mom, not a book from Amazon, will help with this, and mom should go where she knows the drill, thus to the Catholics 3. At least according to my friends and the metro ads welcoming you home, the Catholic Church would be happy to have her.  So I got communion rules a bit off.  It is lazy thinking and a cop out to say that communion is the issue. 4. She owes her daughter some tools for thinking about faith and pretty much any religion can give a person that.  The point is, it sounds like this kid needs a church, and that means mom needs to go with her.
