“Oh yeah, the in-laws are Catholic, fairly devoutly so, although MIL is unhappy with the Catholic church’s official policy on homosexuality. I believe she was talking about converting to Episcopalian.”
What is “devout” about a person with that take on homosexuality? The Catholic Church considers it a disorder, and it is a bar to entrance to the seminary. The Episcopal Church thinks it’s great (regardless of how God made His feelings known about it).
They go through the motions properly? Hell, I don't know.
