[quote=Anonymous]On the logistics front, I'm sure you could work out a mass schedule that works for you both.  Perhaps you'd like a dedicated two- hour period on Saturday or some other time to do something important to you?

As for the religion, you did choose to marry a man who Catholic, albeit non-practicing.  I'm sure you put thought into that at the time, and perhaps you could think back to those conversations with your DH or to your thinking at the time.

I will also put in a shameless plug for Holy Trinity in Georgetown.  Gets to the core of the religion as far as I'm concerned, and is more accepting than most churches I've been to in the area.  Last month we prayed a special intention that people not be discriminated against, including a specific reference to sexual orientation-based discrimination.  Today's special intentions included prayers for immigration reform, the South Sudanese and the homeless, with particular encouragement for families to help with the church's winter shelter.  A very strong emphasis on service and civic responsibility to care for all of those less fortunate.  You might be surprised at what you and your husband find at Holy Trinity.

One question for you is how you would hope your husband would respond if you found a faith or world view that you believed to be true, a d that you found comfort, strength, and some form of ethical or moral organizing principal?  Personally, I string believe that religious freedom has been sought for centuries. E cause it is crucial to our identities as human beings as one of the ultimate expressions of free will.  As a result, I respect my DH's religious beliefs (he's not Catholic) and am thankful that he respects mine.  That view, of course, is vomi g from someone who us religious, and I understand may not ring as true for those who are not.

I hope your family finds a way through this that you can all live with comfortably and respectfully.  [/quote]
