[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't go to church but in lifestyle and beliefs I'm Catholic to the core.  I try to live my faith.

I don't necessarily feel I need to be in the Church.  It's been my unfortunate experience to realize way too many "church" people, Catholic and Protestant, are in fact the biggest hypocrites in the world.  Not expecting anyone to be perfect, and I'm certainly not perfect, but when you deliberately and maliciously live your life in a way that harms others, then you don't need to call yourself a Christian, you know?

I recall the mother of a dear friend who was raised during the Great Depression.  Her grandmother was widowed. Widowed mother with a small child, immigrant with no family to fall back on - she was up the creek big-time.  Her local Catholic church quietly took her in, and provided a home for them by letting them live in an empty part of the church that was not being used.  That's where my friend's mom grew up, in safety and with a roof over her head at a dreadful economic time.  This is the Church at its best. [/quote]

Just curious what that means as an adult? Married or single, do you follow church teachings on sexuality? [/quote]
