I wonder how many former church members and genuine Christians are in the same boat as your grandmother. Someone should conduct a poll (wonder if we could get a govt. grant for that, LOL)

We haven't belonged to or attended church regularly since 1987.

(My grandmother was also a church organist for years.)

Yeah, I was born and raised Catholic, but when asked about my religious affiliation, I say I'm a recovering Catholic. I just started attending mass again, at my wife's behest, and our Church's new monsignor is a very profound speaker.

In much of the reading I've done recently about various religions of the world, the American branches of all of them are very liberal compared to the rest of the world. I really didn't understand this until I remembered that this is the country of the quickie-wedding, the quickie-divorce, the Clinton legacy (75% of teens 13-18 done consider oral sex to be sex), pedophile priests, homosexual ministers, "We're Queer, we're here, get used to it.", and the separation of church and state farce.

It's easy to see why America is becoming more secular and interpretting the 1st amendment as freedom "from" religion.

I hope the Cardinals elect a highly conservative Pope with the will to shake the church. Separate the wheat from the chaff, if you will.
