    Protestant Churches like Catholic Church?

    I second this emotion... In all seriousness I think your 2 best options are either a Catholic church that is more involved as a community - ie everyone doesn't leave at the end - my church is like this. But if you go with protestant, definitely do Episcopalean/Anglican High Mass (High Mass...

    Hey there, I'm only half a Scot, but I am a citizen - my Dad was 100% Scot, we were, or are, rather, some of the last Roman Catholic Scots in Scotland after the clearances, and we made it all the way south to Dundee! My father left for America in 1963. I take it as a sign of auspicious...

    I like the cut of this one's jib! Thank you for the welcome! Now you've got me thinking... I think I would certainly be considered "liberal" when compared to what most people think of when they hear Catholic - but what they think is usually a cartoon and someone who is hostile to victims of...

    I want to believe in God again.

    Lots of great advice here. I'm replying to this thread with this post specifically b/c I, like you, am a renegade Catholic... I was raised by Jesuits who are intense thinkers and tend to sit heavy on the progressive side of things. I'm in NYC and my church, which is a Jesuit church, has...

    Oh when I asked about your mom, about what she does - the church was such a big part of her life, I was asking did she leave it? Does she practice... anything anymore? I'm sorry she lost something so important to her. And talk about a tonal shift! Yep it's me, the joker from the chat room... I...

    That always feels like a shock, then you remember Issac & Ishmael, etc. Noah and the early Fathers of the Abrahamic religions are considered... what is the term? I know, google is my friend...

    Forgive me for being flip about that - here of all places! I fully agree with you - there are multitudinous reasons, but the church can be such a burden when we're in it. I have a personal connection to the molestation perpetrated by those predators in the church and I won't get myself started...

    Tumah, I've always wondered something about Orthodox Jews which I guess I can ask you here. As an aside, I grew up in and around NYC so I grew up as a young child believing half the world was Catholic and the other half Jewish... obviously:facepalm: Is there a... "vanilla" or "general"...

    Wow! This sounds fascinating - so now I am off to read about your beliefs - "atheist on steriods" I'm going to take a leap and guess all that is not found in nature - all that is not... tangible for lack of a better word - you would not consider a part of... "the world?" Just my guessing before...

    Obvious conclusion? Jews are the most attractive people :laughing: (just going by my own experience I'd put money on that )

    So I guess the title of this post says it all, Hello everybody! As you can see from above I am what I would call a liberal Roman Catholic (think of Stephen Colbert - he's probably our most famous example not directly connected to the church). I'm here because I love talking to other Catholics...
