are you not a catholic?
I spend some time in the Catholic Church. I'm in an interfaith marriage with a Catholic. For that reason, I'm spend some time studying Church doctrine - particularly as it relates to me and my family - I'm trying real hard to provide a consistent and accurate picture to my daughter of why some things are the way they are - like why I stay in the pew when she goes to the rail. That being said, I'm far from an expert.
