43. now that the Church is on the warpath against gays....

...I really cant call myself Catholic.

I grew up in the Church, went to parochial school, etc.

...and also read some of the more progressive Catholics, like Thomas Merton, Dorthoy Day, Greely, etc....

....so Im familiar with this more progressive or open-minded tradition within Catholic spirituality and social action, but I the Church has really lost me with thier activism directed at gays and lesbians. There really is no place for me in this particular Christian denomination, or in Christianity in general.
