"Let's see what the CCC has to say in the matter"

You should be Catholic. You care so very much. I am inspired by your search for truth. Stay consistent and don't let the huge gaps occur and you are fab Catholic. Keeping us NFP users honest and seeing importance in sex and life and procreation.

You sure you're not still Catholic?

I'm not sure if you are being sincere or sarcastic- if it's sarcasm, well-done! The best kind of sarcasm is the kind that keeps the other guy guessing a little! If you were being sincere, I'll take it as a complement; thank you.

Yes, I am sure I am not a Catholic any longer. A Catholic priest proclaimed that I was not a Catholic twenty years ago when I went for premarital counseling (his pronouncement was prompted by a discussion regarding family planning, BTW). I was a bit ticked off, but I thought about it, and had to agree. I was not a Catholic. Rather than to show disrespect for the Church by remaining a CINO (which would have pleased my mother greatly), I formalized it by leaving the Church. I guess that may be part of my motivation for posting on Catholic issue threads. Apart from my disagreement with Catholic dogma, CINO's and cafeteria Catholics bug me. It hurt leaving the Church, though I believe it was God's will. It appears that in today's Church, CINO's and cafeteria Catholics are not only tolerated, but constitute the majority.
