My faith just barely survived my time in the diocese of Richmond also. They told us in RCIA that it wasn't a sin to miss Mass, it just wasn't a good idea. I soon decided that my time was better spent doing something else and became an Easter and Christmas Catholic. When we moved to another diocese it shocked the socks off of me when I attended a dignified, reverent N.O., the priest said it was a sin to miss Mass and that artificial contraception was a sin. I can thank the diocese of Richmond for turning me into an orthodox Catholic, having experienced a real Am-church.

That which does not kill my faith makes it stronger...
OBTW, that's "with no obvious end in sight", back in #73.
