I'm a practicing Catholic and will keep practicing until I get it right.

I love that joke.


Anyway I was raised Catholic and went to twelve years of Catholic school. Even though my mom is a devout Catholic my dad never went to church and wasn't Catholic. He hated going to church. So I got both sides. My late teens and twenties were spent being like my dad and never going to church. Then in my thirties I realized that for whatever it was worth I am a Catholic and started going back to Mass and being more active in my church.

In so far as getting religion and just living by the ten commandments I would say no thanks. The most important and uplifitng thing in the Bible is Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Now that's the good stuff. Mercy for the poor and to be peace makers and seek justice imagine if all Christians live like that. The world would be a much better place.
