[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baptized Catholic, but never went  beyond that.  Then in the Methodist church for several years, starting in college. Then years later back to Catholicism.  This time, as an adult, not a child following my parents' wishes.  It is comforting there, on my own terms. I never had to experience the crap in childhood.  As an adult, not afraid to have real conversations with the priests. I call them by their first name, as they do me.  None of that "father " stuff.  [/quote]

[b]What about the sexual scandals among the clergy?  How do you handle that?[/quote][/b]

Not influenced.  If I followed that thread thru life I would not connect with men, as they mostly abused/owned/purchased their wife(wives) throughout history.  How do you deal with that?  Do you confront every man who passes your path?

I (42 yr old female) rather enjoy my conversations with the priests -- Bob,  Tom, whomever.   Be an adult;  chat with them the way you would anyone.  Sounds like you  are putting them on some kind of pedestal, which is  your mistake. [/quote]
