We are commanded to be Catholics by our church. We didn't seek out a compatible faith. I would probably be a Druid or a Unitarian if we were allowed to do that. I believe people are assigned to religions, like Baptist or Muslim or whatever and must do their best as one of whatever. In my case, my mother was a Baptist, so I consider myself half Baptist/Protestant. I think it is not a good idea to mix religions unless both people are wishy washy or at least one is. I did not have the good part of Catholicism, and there are some fun, pleasant parts, because my mother interpreted everything through her hellfire and damnation Baptistism. I would be a much better Catholic if I had gotten it from both sides of my family, and had experienced the pleasanter parts of it. But to each his or her own. mg
