“The only reason my family went to church is because my father dragged my mother and me/sibling down there. He actually liked church. Once he died, we stopped going. It’s a very depressing place.”
Wow! With me it is the opposite. At church I can hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the wisdom of the prophets, the beauty of the Psalms, etc. Outside of church I see a lot of arrogance resulting in misery.
All read in monotone surroundedby bland music and cookie cutter homilies. Your average Catholic Mass has all the joy of homeroom.
