Thread Name: BS: Have you changed your religious views?
Subject: RE: BS: Have you changed your religious views?
Not really. I am not religious by nature and Catholic by upbringing but only Catholic by genetics on my father's side. I think by nature I would be a fairly good Unitarian or Druid perhaps. I hate the Catholic church's view on birth control and keep saying I would make it the 11th commandment. I hate hate hate the new "music" that has taken over since the Vatican Council. So the liturgy that used to be very nice is now to me just plain wierd and ugly and not resembling anything Catholic at all. So I am obviously a very weak Catholic and don't agree with the basics of how I was trained to believe...but the good news is I try not to eat meat on Friday still...and on GOod Friday, coming this week, if you make the Stations of the Cross you get a plenary indulgence (I do like indulgences). So I have a lot of the paranoia and many of the superstitions and liked at least the old music and traditions but I am basically attending a church that is very odd to me. mg
