I think you may be somewhat right. But I'll say this...I don't take my religion all that seriously anymore. I still answer to God, he is my moral compass. But, I'm burned out on the ceremonies. Maybe I'm a disgruntled Catholic. That's where I'm at right now.

Ditto that from a disgruntled Methodist, whose entire church has been taken over by liberals, and I don't recognize it anymore, as it was in the 50s and 60s.

I have become a crotchety,private person and yes I'm a Roman Catholic also. My sunday best is a old red Gundamwing tee. However, not dressing up would be VERBOTEN. My mother is an old fashioned Caribbean Catholic and wearing sneakers would give her a heart attack!

This is more common than you might expect. The tradition of dressing in finery on Easter is derived from "Putting on Christ" at Baptism, at which the early-Church candidate received a spotless white robe to symbolize that he was a "new creation in Christ," and that all the sins of his former life had been washed away in the waters of Baptism. Since most Americans haven't received this teaching since Vatican II, it's not surprising that they don't understand the meaning of new, beautiful clothing for Easter celebration.

Time for a little reflection based on a study of different denominations. Maybe a little church shopping would be useful.
