Practicing Catholic here. For how much longer, I can't say. I love my parish and the social justice issues the Church tackles can be wonderful. I just don't get the foolishness over birth control and the recent political shit is making me angry. If it is the Church's way of telling us the next Pope will be even more conservative than this one I may have to remove myself and that will make me very sad. I am a cafeteria Catholic- believe that priests should be allowed to marry, wrongdoing by them should not be covered up, believe in gay rights ( including the right to marry) believe in a woman's right to choose to end her pregnancy. Maybe that makes me more lousy Catholic than cafeteria variety, but a Catholic is what I consider myself.
