I don't feel either.<BR/><BR/>I'm just saddened that an organisation with a stated mission for love and caring could attract, retain and defend so many evil people.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, I still enjoy attending church 'cos it takes me back to a time when I was with my parents secure in the knowledge that they loved me and that all grown-ups cared about us children.<BR/><BR/>PaigeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748453999833334873.post-66078479603784056972008-02-03T00:12:00.000+00:002008-02-03T00:12:00.000+00:00Hi fellow awardees.

As a lapsed Catholic, I always think I have managed to escape the guilt, until my daughter, (who has never been taken to church on a regular basis) says she loves sitting in churches! Gulp! She'll probably join an order to make me pay even more!Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748453999833334873.post-53124036191985938192008-02-02T21:04:00.000+00:002008-02-02T21:04:00.000+00:00Not insane DM - just Catholic.

I am happy to see that you feel just as guilty as I do and turn up every Sunday despite the bad press...

I say this as a person who does still go to church - but takes the whole shebang with a bucket load of salt. As does anyone with a modicum of intelligence.<BR/><BR/>And don't ask me why I still go. My kids aren't even in a Catholic primary, so I don't really know why myself... Well, I have reasons; just none that would stand up to too much scrutiny!Potty Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751869800592294891noreply@blogger.com
