Catholic here. I disregard the church's position. I am late 30s. My parents were better Catholics. I go to church once a year.

 You're not a Catholic.

bottom line [/b]

And I say this as someone who turned away from the church years ago.

Catholicism (or any religion for that matter) is not a once-a-year celebration.

Get off your high horse. If PP believes themselves to be a Catholic, it's not for you to say they aren't. For many Catholics, it's a cultural bond that keeps them with the church...they may have attended Catholic school, so it's what they know, what their friends are and what their family is, so it's easier to stay with some form of it than make a change.  It's such a demanding faith...very few Americans follow all the rules to the letter.

PP is NOT a Catholic.

Just shut up, honey bunny!  I received ALL of my sacraments attended Catholic.  And where did it get me?   certainly not closer to the church, as I can't STAND the church and its hypocrisy

So yes, genius, I can speak about PP.  And PP is NOT a Catholic.

Not following the rules to the letter is DRASTICALLY different from attending church once a year and calling oneself a Catholic.

Get over yourself.  [/quote]

According to canon law[b] PP is still Catholic[/b] unless she was excommunicated or converted to another religion.[/quote]

But she's not a Catholic in good standing.  For that, she needs to go to confession and communion.[/quote]
