Nor do they care to. The cafeteria Catholics don’t care; anti-Catholics want to see fireworks. And Catholics who vote their conscience take the flak. Guess it’s an “offer it up”, lol. I wouldn’t leave the Church again for anything, but it must be easy to have no affiliation. Just slip under the radar...
